摘要
An approximation technique for the governing equations for the mode-locked laser is examined. The technique centers on a transformation of the governing equations in which the resulting equations closely resemble the Hermite equation. The approximation of the system is constructed through a linear combination of Hermite polynomials resulting in a Hermite-spectral method. The rate of decay of the resulting modes is examined for a simplified problem and difficulties in showing the stability of the method are also discussed. Numerical comparisons with a finite difference scheme are also presented. © 2001 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
