Abstract
A new way of generating negative group-velocity dispersion in a Ti:sapphire laser is demonstrated. The mathematical formulae of the optical path length and the negative group-velocity dispersion in a single-prism system are given. Both of the theoretical analyses and the experimental results show that the group-velocity dispersion is directly proportional to the distance between the prism and the Ti:sapphire crystal, and the amount of the negative group-velocity dispersion generated by a single-prism system may approach that generated by a pair of prisms.
