Abstract
The development of high power semiconductor diode laser arrays and broad area devices makes possible the use of new mode-locking techniques which utilize high intracavity intensities to produce nonlinearities. Short pulse generation may be investigated and optimized using hybrid cavity designs which incorporate a controlled amount of self phase modulation (SPM), group velocity dispersion (GVD), and fast saturable absorption.
