Spatial-temporal analysis of the self-mode-locked ti: Sapphire laser

Sumario:We employ our extended spatial-temporal matrices to analyze the Ti: sapphire self-mode-locked laser. Our results agree with previously reported experimental work and give us a deeper understanding of the way this laser functions. We found the pulse-shaping mechanism to be essentially solitonlike; the role of the aperture is to discriminate against cw operation. We also study the buildup of the pulse starting from a fluctuation. © 1993 Optical Society of America.
