Abstract
We study solid-state laser mode locking in the self-induced transparen cy regime of an intracavity absorber. Depending on the absorber dephas ing, pulse energy, and resonator dispersion, we find stable coherent 2 pi-pulse operation, pulse splitting, oscillatory pulse shapes, and sm ooth transition to incoherent saturable-absorber mode locking.
