19. From a practical point of view, Ti:sapphire lasers are typically adjusted to produce the shortest possible pulses consistent with a stable pulse train. Thus the lasers are generally operated with slightly negative net GVD and at intracavity powers low enough to avoid the onset of quasiperiodicity.
