Abstract
Experimental and theoretical investigations showed that dynamic gain s aturation in the presence of self-phase modulation shifts the emission wavelength of ultrashort pulses to the red or blue part of the spectr um of lasers mode-locked by self-focusing. Selection of the ratios of the rates of saturation of the gain and losses in the presence of such a shift makes it possible to increase mode-locking stability.
