L. Chai et al., Experimental study on the mechanism of a self-starting Kerr-lens-mode-locking using a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror, ACT PHY C E, 50(7), 2001, pp. 1298-1301
The self-starting dynamics of the Kerr-lens-mode-locking (KLM) in a Ti: sap
phire laser using an intercavity broadband semiconductor saturable absorber
mirror (SESAM) was investigated experimentally. The mechanism of the self-
starting KLM using a SESAM was investigated and discussed.
