Femtosecond pulse generation in a laser with a nonlinear external resonator

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A simple model is presented to describe mode locking in a laser coupled to a nonlinear resonator. It reveals a new mechanism for pulse shortening and shows that shortening does not rely on dispersion in the auxiliary cavity. Experimental results are given to support the basic predictions of the model.
