| dc.description.abstract | A spectral method for determining the stability of periodically stationary pulses in fiber lasers is introduced. Pulse stability is characterized in terms of the spectrum (eigenvalues) of the monodromy operator, which is the linearization of the round trip operator about a periodically stationary pulse. A formula for the continuous (essential) spectrum of the monodromy operator is presented, which quantifies the growth and decay of continuous waves far from the pulse. The formula is verified by comparison with a fully numeric method for an experimental fiber laser. Finally, the effect of a saturable absorber on pulse stability is demonstrated. | en |
