title: Starting dynamics of additive-pulse mode locking in the Ti:A1(2)O(3) laser.
abstract: The starting dynamics of the additive-pulse mode-locked Ti:AI(2)O(3) laser are investigated. Mode locking develops from mode beating with pulse formation times of several hundred microseconds. A simple model based on additivepulse mode-locking theory is developed that describes self-starting and pulse evolution.
