Abstract

The dynamics of passive mode locking is investigated numerically for unidirectional ring YAG-Nd lasers and dye lasers. The difference of the lasers' spectroscopic parameters determines the difference in their generation regimes: the periodic pulse trains for YAG-Nd lasers and the stationary pulse generation for the dye lasers. For dye lasers data are obtained for inner pulse structure dependence on the gain factor and for stochasticity of the generation regime if gain and absorption line widths are not equal.
