Specific Features of Generation of the Quasi-Schrodinger Soliton in the CW Mode-Locked Solid-State Laser with a Semiconductor Saturable Absorber

摘要

The mechanism of mode-locking in the cw solid-state laser with the saturable semiconductor switch caused by the formation of the quasi-Schrodinger soliton is investigated on the basis of the self-consistent laser field theory. The possible regimes of the quasi-soliton destabilization are studied: the sharp transition from the femtosecond to picosecond generation ("the picosecond collapse"), the self-oscillation phenomena upon the variation in the group-velocity dispersion and the pump power are shown.
