Theoretical calculation of pulsed active-passive mode-locked solid state lasers, part 2
Abstract
Computer simulations are carried out using a theoretical model for pulsed active-passive mode-locked Nd-glass and Nd:YAG lasers. The dependences of some characteristics of active-passive mode-locked lasers, such as mode-locking threshold, output stability, pulse width, and pulse asymmetry, on the modulation depth and detuning of the active modulator and the relaxation time and concentration of the relaxation time and concentration of the saturable dye are obtained in the simulations. The theoretical results are in good qualitative agreement with the experiments. The simulations explained some of the experimental observations and provided further understanding of the physical processes involved in active-passive mode-locking.
