Structures for additive pulse mode locking

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The theory of additive pulse mode locking (APM) is developed in closed form under a linearization approximation. The pulse parameters are determined in terms of the gain, the gain dispersion, the group-velocity dispersion, and the self-phase modulation. Stability regimes are established. Various possible configurations of laser systems that can produce APM are presented. Some of them permit single-cavity realizations that may not require interferometric length stabilization circuits. In general, the results are applicable to a wide range of fast saturable absorber mode-locked systems.
