An apparatus generates femtosecond pulses from laser amplifiers by nonlinear frequency conversion. The implementation of nonlinear frequency-conversion allows the design of highly nonlinear amplifiers at a signal wavelength (SW), while still preserving a high-quality pulse at an approximately frequency-doubled wavelength (FDW). Nonlinear frequency-conversion also allows for limited wavelength tuning of the FDW. As an example, the output from a nonlinear fiber amplifier is frequency-converted. By controlling the polarization state in the nonlinear fiber amplifier and by operating in the soliton-supporting dispersion regime of the host glass, an efficient nonlinear pulse compression for the SW is obtained. The generated pulse width is optimized by utilizing soliton compression in the presence of the Raman-self-frequency shift in the nonlinear fiber amplifier at the SW. High-power pulses are obtained by employing fiber amplifiers with large core-diameters. The efficiency of the nonlinear fiber amplifier is optimized by using a double clad fiber (i.e., a fiber with a double-step refractive index profile) and by pumping light directly into the inner core of this fiber. Periodically poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) is used for efficient conversion of the SW to a FDW. The quality of the pulses at the FDW can further be improved by nonlinear frequency conversion of the compressed and Raman-shifted signal pulses at the SW. The use of Raman-shifting further increases the tuning range at the FDW. For applications in confocal microscopy, a special linear fiber amplifier is used.

A switching control circuit having detection terminal, input terminal, ramp generator, program terminal, error amplifier, mix circuit, and delay circuit for power factor control is provided. The detection terminal generates a detection signal in response to the inductor discharge. An input terminal is connected for detecting a switching current signal. The program terminal determines the slew rate of the ramp signal and the maximum on-time of the switching signal. An error amplifier generates an error signal for regulating the output. A mix circuit generates a mixing signal proportional to ramp signal and the switching current signal. The switching signal is turned on in response to the detection signal, and is turned off based on the error signal. The slew rate of the mixing signal is increased in response to the increase of the input voltage. The on-time of the switching signal is increased inversely proportional to the input voltage.
