Abstract :
In the scope of this work we will present the influence of intracavity absorption in interplay with intracavity dispersion. The goal is to get a deeper insight into the physical effects of mode-locking of semiconductor laser diodes. This helps to verify theoretical models and possibly allows generating pulses shorter than 200 fs.
