How lasing localized structures evolve out of passive mode locking

M Marconi, J Javaloyes, S Balle, M Giudici - Physical review letters, 2014‏ - APS
We investigate the relationship between passive mode locking and the formation of time-
localized structures in the output intensity of a laser. We show how the mode-locked pulses …
