On the theory of transient evolution of the passive mode-locking
Abstract
An analog of Boltzmann H-theorem is proved for laser systems with a fast saturable absorber and gain tracing the intensity averaged over the cavity: from any initial conditions the system passes into the steady-state single pulse mode.
