    We investigated solid-state laser mode locking in the self-induced transparency regime. Our findings reveal diverse pulse dynamics, including stable 2pi-pulse operation and transitions to incoherent mode locking, influenced by absorber dephasing and resonator dispersion.

    Area of Science:

    • Laser Physics
    • Nonlinear Optics

    Background:

    • Mode locking is crucial for generating ultrashort laser pulses.
    • Self-induced transparency (S1T) describes light propagation in a resonant absorber.
    • Intracavity absorbers are key components in many laser systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the complex dynamics of solid-state laser mode locking.
    • To explore the self-induced transparency (SIT) regime with an intracavity absorber.
    • To understand the influence of absorber dephasing, pulse energy, and resonator dispersion on mode-locking behavior.

    Main Methods:

    • Theoretical study of a solid-state laser model.
    • Analysis of the self-induced transparency (SIT) regime.
    • Numerical simulations exploring parameter variations.

    Main Results:

    • Observed stable coherent 2pi-pulse operation.
    • Identified pulse splitting and oscillatory pulse shapes.
    • Demonstrated a smooth transition to incoherent saturable-absorber mode locking.

    Conclusions:

    • The interplay between absorber properties and resonator parameters dictates laser pulse dynamics.
    • Diverse mode-locking regimes can be accessed by tuning laser parameters.
    • Understanding these dynamics is essential for designing advanced laser systems.
