Stability of mode-locked pulse solutions subject to saturable gain: computing linear stability with the Floquet–Fourier–Hill method

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The stability of local structures in optical systems is of great importance. We demonstrate that using the Floquet–Fourier–Hill (FFH) method provides a substantial improvement in both speed and accuracy over finite-difference methods that are commonly used. Furthermore, we show how to incorporate the effect of nonlocal saturable gain in the linearization and stability predictions. Several examples of problems are worked with both the FFH and finite-difference methods and compared in the context of mode-locked laser models.
