Soliton Generation and Picosecond Collapse in Solid-State Lasers with Semiconductor Saturable Absorber

arXiv:physics/0009009 · doi:10.1364/JOSAB.17.000519

Abstract

Based on self - consistent field theory we study a soliton generation in cw solid-state lasers with semiconductor saturable absorber. Various soliton destabilizations, i.e. the switch from femtosecond to picosecond generation (''picosecond collapse''), an automodulation regime, breakdown of soliton generation and hysteresis behavior, are predicted.
