Abstract

The ultrashort pulse-forming properties of lasers are reviewed in terms of the master equation time-domain description of mode locking. The pulse shortening strengths and steady-state operating characteristics of a broad range of modern experimental systems are discussed within the framework of the classic slow-saturable-absorber and fast-saturable-absorber analytical models.
