Study of ultrafast nonlinear pulse shaping effect of strained saturable Bragg reflector (SSBR) with coherent quantum control technique
POSTER
Abstract
In this work, a strained saturable Bragg reflector (SSBR) for passive mode-locking of Ti:sapphire lasers was investigated by pulse shaping technique. Incident pulses of several wavelengths and with zero, positive, or negative chirp were employed. A Kramers-Kronig relation like behavior of pulse shaping factor in the strained quantum well was observed. The phenomenon is attributed to anomalous dispersion and higher order nonlinearity.
