Mechanism of the formation of ultrashort pulses in cw solid-state lasers as a result of the optical Stark effect in a saturable semiconductor switch
V. L. Kalashnikov, I. G. Poloiko, V. P. Mikhailov International Laser Center, Belarus State Technical University, Minsk
Abstract:
It is shown that the Stark shift of a quantum-well level on excitation below the edge of the absorption band in a bleachable absorber may lead to the formation of a pulse of minimum duration. This mechanism also ensures self-starting of the generation of ultrashort pulses.
