Pulse shortening by a nonlinear mirror mode locker

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

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.
