How carrier memory enters the Haus master equation of mode-locking

Abstract

We present a generalization of the Haus master equation in which a dynamical boundary condition allows to describe complex pulse trains such as the Q-switched and harmonic transitions of passive mode-locking as well as the weak interactions between localized states. As an example, we investigate the influence of group velocity dispersion on the stability boundaries of the Q-switched regime. We compare our results with that of a time-delayed system.
