    Dynamics of an inhomogeneously broadened passively mode-locked laser
    (Berlin : Weierstraß-Institut für Angewandte Analysis und Stochastik, 2018) Pimenov, Alexander; Vladimirov, Andrei G.
    We study theoretically the effect of inhomogeneous broadening of the gain and absorption lines on the dynamics of a passively mode-locked laser. We demonstrate numerically using travelling wave equations the formation of a Lamb-dip instability and suppression of Q-switching in a laser with large inhomogeneous broadening. We derive simplified delay-differential equation model for a mode-locked laser with inhomogeneously broadened gain and absorption lines and perform numerical bifurcation analysis of this model.
