Self-mode-locking produced when a mirror which undergoes a metal-semiconductor phase transition is used as the modulator
Abstract
A self-mode-locking regime obtained as a result of metal-semiconductor phase transition in a vanadium oxide film is reported. The initiation and relaxation times are given for the phase transition in the oxide film produced as a result of excitation by a short laser flash.
