Development prospects and stability limits of the mid-IR Kerr-lens mode-locked lasers

Abstract

The Kerr-lens mode locking ability and the ultrashort pulse characteristics are analyzed numerically for the Cr-doped ZnTe, ZnSe, ZnS active media. The advantages of these materials for the femtosecond lasing within 2 - 3 $\mu$m spectral range are demonstrated.
