摘要：

A straightforward analysis of the process by which nonlinear amplitude modulators in coupled cavities can lead to enhanced mode-locking is presented. The application of the theory is demonstrated by using secondharmonic generation in an external cavity to mode-lock a Nd: YAG laser yielding 30 ps pulses in a Q-switched and mode-locked pulse train. © 1990 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
