Pulse evolution in mode-locked quasi-continuous lasers

TL;DR: In this article, a model of a passively mode-locked quasi-continuous laser is discussed and the evolution of pulses in various cavity configurations is traced and the combined action of amplifier and absorber saturation is shown to lead to rapid pulse compression even when the pulse duration is far shorter than the relaxation time.
