Average cavity description of self-similar lasers

Not Accessible

Abstract

A purely analytical model treating an average cavity description of a passive self-similar optical resonator is developed. The model introduces an energy area theorem which provides an analytical framework for understanding energy scalability in passive self-similar systems. A qualitative link between self-similar pulses in fiber and solid state systems is explained by the analytical model through the nature of the saturable characteristics of the saturable absorber. The derived expressions for the field amplitude and chirp parameter of the pulse match well with simulation and offer insight into the mechanics of passive self-similar resonator design.
