Enlarged view: Pav_tau
Average power of modelocked TDLs versus their pulse duration
Enlarged view: P_pk_tau
Peak power of modelocked TDLs versus pulse duration

The two figures give an overview of (1) output average power vs. pulse duration and (2) output peak power vs. pulse duration of modelocked TDLs demonstrated so far, based on different gain materials. The different results shown in this overview and the corresponding references are listed in the table below.
