ResumoWe characterized the phase and amplitude noise of a mirror-dispersion-controlled 10-fs Ti:sapphire laser pumped by a frequency-doubled cw diode-pumped Nd:YVO4 laser and compared with these of the Ti:sapphire laser pumped by an Ar-ion laser. The rms timing jitters and rms amplitude noise for the all-solid-state and Ar-ion laser pumped Ti:sapphire lasers are calculated to be 0.31 ps rms and 0.71 ps rms and 0.15% rms and 0.32% rms, in the frequency range from 20 kHz to 400 kHz, respectively. The phase and amplitude noise characteristics of the Ti:sapphire laser were greatly improved by using the diode-pumped solid state laser as a pump source.
