Abstract
Summary form only given. If two mode-locking mechanisms are combined such that one operates at the fundamental frequency and one at a harmonic, the benefits of shorter pulses at low repetition rates will be preserved. Towards this end we report here on simultaneous Nd:YAG laser mode-locking of fundamental AM and harmonic FM laser modulation.
