Abstract
We report on transform-limited pulses generated directly by an optical Stark passively mode-locked semiconductor disk laser at a repetition rate. A surface recombination semiconductor saturable absorber mirror and a step-index gain structure are used. Numerical propagation modeling of the optical Stark effect confirms that this mechanism is able to form the pulses that we observe.
