Abstract :
The quantum dot material can be exploited in multisection mode-locked (ML) lasers which are able to generate high-intensity sub-picosecond pulses. In this paper, we apply the traveling wave modeling (partial differential equations) approach allowing to describe spatial nonuniformity of laser parameters and resolve spatial-temporal dynamics of carrier densities and optical fields counter-propagating along the laser cavity axis.
