Abstract: An investigation was made of passive mode locking using lanthanum beryllate as the active medium. Various passive switches were used to study the influence of their nonlinear parameters on the characteristics of uitrashort pulses. A minimal uitrashort pulse duration of ~4 psec was obtained.
