Abstract
A device, composed of a nonlinear crystal and a dichroic mirror, features intensity-dependent reflection and may be used as a passive mode locker. The pulse shortening of a Gaussian light pulse due to reflection by this nonlinear mirror has been calculated and compared to that of a saturable absorber used for mode locking.
