Effects of intracavity dispersion on the starting dynamics of continuous-wave passively mode-locked Ti:sapphire/DDI lasers.
Through analysis of transient autocorrelation traces, we show that intracavity dispersion significantly affects the number of initially oscillating modes as well as the buildup of passive mode locking in picosecond and femtosecond lasers.
