Abstract

A large-signal model for passively Q-switched laser structures, consisting of an amplifying and a saturable absorber region, is presented. The amplitude, pulse rate and pulse width of self-sustained pulsations are derived. A comparison with experimental results, obtained from double-contacted metal clad ridge waveguide lasers, is performed.
