This lecture covers the principles of active, passive, and hybrid mode-locking in dye lasers, discussing the mechanisms to initiate mode-locking, the stabilization of pulse duration, and the generation of new frequencies. It also explains the impact of the optical Kerr effect, self-focusing, and group speed dispersion on pulse characteristics.
