Dispersion Effects in an Actively Mode-Locked Inhomogeneously Broadened Laser
We theoretically and experimentally studied the dispersion effects in an actively mode-locked inhomogeneously broadened laser. In the positive group velocity dispersion (GVD) region, the laser generates incoherent pulses. Self-phase modulation and resonant dispersion impede reduction of the pulse duration when the GVD is small or near zero. A single, stable, soliton-like pulse can be generated ...
متن کاملSoliton stability conditions in actively mode- locked inhomogeneously broadened lasers
We examine the conditions for soliton stability in actively mode-locked inhomogeneously broadened lasers. Numerical simulation shows that in the small negative group-velocity dispersion (GVD) region, excessive gain filtering prevents the generation of a single stable soliton pulse and that in the large negative GVD region, the free-running spectral components destabilize the soliton pulse as a ...
متن کاملActive Mode Locking With Hybrid Lasers
We present the results of a numerical study of active mode locking with hybrid lasers which contain an inhomogeneously broadened laser medium and a homogeneously broadened laser medium. The spectral, pulse, and gain characteristics of actively mode-locked hybrid lasers and the influence of the unsaturated gain, the saturation power, and the homogeneous linewidth on the pulse coherence and bandw...
متن کاملAcoustical and optical branches in the ”spectral waves” of a laser
The longitudinally multimode class-B laser with inhomogeneous broadening is known to behave as a chain of coupled oscillators, each being associated to one mode. If emission occurs along the two eigenstates of polarization, we show theoretically and experimentally that the waves propagating in the spectrum are characterized by two dispersion curves associated to oscillations in phase and in opp...
متن کاملEffects of the Colored Pump Noise in a Two-mode Laser
An inhomogeneously broadened two-mode ring laser system with the colored pump noise is considered. The effects of the auto-correlation time, ,of the colored pump noise on the competition between two modes in the laser system are investigated for the first time by the computer simulation method. The results show that when the laser system works far above threshold, the stationary properties of ...
