摘要: An analytic model that takes into account dispersion, chirp, self-phase modulation, bandwidth limitation, frequency walkoff, and cavity length detuning is applied to lasers passively mode locked by two saturable absorbers-one fast one slow. This general predicts the balance between slow gain absorber affects pulse timing shifts changes. Such limit range of permitted intracavity dispersion. >
