Résumé :

We propose a new model for passive mode locking that is a set of ordinary delay differential equations. We assume a ring-cavity geometry and Lorentzian spectral filtering of the pulses but do not use small gain and loss and weak saturation approximations. By means of a continuation method, we study mode-locking solutions and their stability, We find that stable mode locking can exist even when the nonlasing state between pulses becomes unstable. © 2004 Optical Society of America.
