Abstract

We study generation regimes of passive mode-locked lasers with nonlinear and dispersive parameters dependent on characteristics of resulting pulses. It is shown that such dependence can cause pulse splitting, multiple pulse operation, multistability, hysteresis phenomena, bistability between cw operation and passive mode-locking. Obtained results are compared with experimental data.
