Noninertial nonlinear elements and their use to control the lasing regime

  • Published:
Journal of Soviet Laser Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Various noninertial nonlinear optical effects of electronic character that can be used as the basis of noninertial nonlinear elements capable of laser control, e.g., mode locking, separation of a single pulse, shaping a flat-top pulse, chopping a pulse, or stabilizing the emission, are condidered. The transmission of all such nonlinear filters is described in like fashion on the basis of a piecewise-linear approximation. The results are compared in a table. Various laser regimes with a similar noninertial elements inside a ring cavity are investigated theoretically.
