Abstract:The results of the study of ultra-short pulse generation in continuous-wave Kerrlens mode-locked (KLM) solid-state lasers with semiconductor saturable absorbers are presented. The issues of extremely short pulse generation are addressed in the frames of the theory that accounts for the coherent nature of the absorber-pulse interaction. We developed an analytical model that bases on the coupled generalized Landau-Ginzburg laser equation and Bloch equations for a coherent absorber. We showed, that in the absence… Show more
