Abstract
A new mechanism of the ultrashort pulse formation in solid-state laser s has been investigated. It was shown that linear frequency shift of t he pulse from the centre of the luminescence band along with the self- phase modulation creates the conditions for the generation of stable s ymmetrical ultrashort pulses in the presence of external low-frequency modulation.
