Abstract:We consider the coherent oscillation of five longitudinal modes, which leads to the coupling of modes in the frequency domain and generation of short pulses in the time domain. The aim is to audit the mechanism of mode locking in more detail by extending the analytical solution of the Maxwell-Bloch equations of motion from three to five mode states. The characteristics of pulses including height, repetition, and duration have been calculated for a five-mode class B laser, and the changes are compared with resp… Show more
