چکیده
A formalism is derived for analyzing the spectral and temporal properties of gain-switched lasers. The development of the longitudinal mode structure from spontaneous emission, limiting linewidths, and over-all spectral characteristics are considered in detail; and applications are discussed.

متن کاملUltra-fast fibre laser systems based on SESAM technology: new horizons and applications
A promising route to manufacturing portable (sub-)picosecond fibre lasers is to use a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). With SESAMs, the mode-locked regime can be achieved for different values of cavity dispersion for a broad spectrum ranging from 0.8 to 1.6μm. The fibre lasers, characterized by a high efficiency and reliability and a small footprint, are very attractive for appl...
