Spectral Hole Burning in the Saturation Region of Mode-Locked Nd-Glass Lasers

  • Conference paper
Picosecond Phenomena III

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 23))

Abstract

Mode-locked Nd-glass lasers generate bandwidth limited picosecond light pulses only in the early part of the pulse train [1–3]. Towards the maximum of the pulse train the spectra are broadened and irregular spectra are observed beyond it [1–5]. Self-phase modulation causes the spectral broadening and structuring. The spectral broadening might be enhanced by self-focusing [2] and nonlinear dispersion [6].
