Abstract

A numerical model of passive mode-locking of dye lasers is presented, which allows the calculation of the steady state pulse parameters without any limitation to pulse energy and duration. The solutions are compared with previous analytical results based on a rate equation treatment (i.e. without considering the phase memory). The pulse evolution and the influence of cavity dumping on the steady state are discussed.
