Abstract
Stretched-pulse additive pulse mode-locking uses segments of fiber of large positive and large negative group velocity dispersion (GVD) in t he cavity, The changes in pulse width per pass due to the varying GVD can be an order of magnitude or more, A theory is developed based on t he master equation that covers this case of large pulse changes in one transit, The general predictions of the theory are verified by experi mental results.
