Abstract

Construction of reliable, practical high-performance sources of picosecond and femtosecond light pulses. The proposed approach is to stabilize a passive mode-locking of solid-state lasers. Results of the authors' studies of spectral and radiation transverse spatial distribution instabilities are presented, and methods for their stabilization are suggested. Theoretical duration of generated subpicosecond and femtosecond pulses as a function of laser system parameters is found with due regard for nonlinearity and frequency dispersion of the refractive index for intracavity elements.
