摘要
We propose an analytical model for ultra-short pulse generation in CW solid-state lasers with semiconductor saturable absorber-based modulators, that regards such a modulator as a nonlinear Fabry-Perot interferometer. The ways to control ultrashort pulse parameters through the modulator's parameters are shown. A stability analysis of the solutions obtained is performed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
