Abstract

[The generation of few-cycle laser pulses —as emitted directly from a diode-pumped solid-state laser —is the result of a fascinating journey of mode-locked laser development, that has been started more than 50 years ago. In order to understand the series of linear and nonlinear mechanisms involved in the process, this chapter serves as a comprehensive introduction to the basic ideas behind ultrashort pulse generation (Sect. 2.1), with a focus devoted to Kerr-lens mode-locking as well as solitary pulse propagation (Sect. 2.2) and formation (Sect. 2.3). The latter has become one of the most important pulse-shaping processes in nowaday’s ultrafast laser systems, and is of great importance for the three laser systems presented in this thesis.]
