N ov 2 00 5 Dispersion managed mode - locking dynamics in a Ti : Sapphire laser

چکیده
We present what is to our knowledge the most complete 1-D numerical analysis of the evolution and the propagation dynamics of an ultrashort laser pulse in a Ti:Sapphire laser oscillator. This study confirms the dispersion managed model of mode-locking, and emphasizes the role of the Kerr nonlinearity in generating mode-locked spectra with a smooth and well− behaved spectral phase. A very good agreement with preliminary experimental measurements is found.

متن کاملDynamics of a Dispersion-Managed Passively Mode-Locked Er-Doped Fiber Laser Using Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes
We investigated the dynamics of a dispersion-managed, passively mode-locked, ultrashort-pulse, Er-doped fiber laser using a single-wall carbon nanotube (SWNT) device. A numerical model was constructed for analysis of the SWNT fiber laser. The initial process of passive mode-locking, the characteristics of the output pulse, and the dynamics inside the cavity were investigated numerically for sol...
متن کاملSub-10-fs mirror-dispersion-controlled Ti:sapphire laser.
We demonstrate the generation of nearly bandwidth-limited 8-fs optical pulses near 0.8 microm from a self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser oscillator, using chirped dielectric mirrors for dispersion control. The mode-locking performance is described, and limitations are discussed.
متن کاملSelf-starting Kerr-lens mode locking of a Ti:sapphire laser.
It is shown that Kerr-lens mode locking of a Ti:sapphire laser, with no intracavity elements except the laser rod and the dispersion-compensating prisms, can be made to be completely self-starting. We achieve this result by carefully designing the resonator to maximize the nonlinear mode variations and dynamic loss modulation.
متن کامل3 N ov 2 00 5 Coexistence of single – mode and multi – longitudinal mode emission in the ring laser model
A homogeneously broadened unidirectonal ring laser can emit in several longitudinal modes for large enough pump and cavity length because of Rabi splitting induced gain. This is the so called Risken-Nummedal–Graham-Haken (RNGH) instability. We investigate numerically the properties of the multi–mode solution. We show that this solution can coexist with the single–mode one, and its stability dom...
