The possibility of effective self-mode locking of a pulsed solid-state laser due to self-focusing in an active element is studied on the basis of the eigenmode analysis of a four-mirror cavity and of the simulations of lasing dynamics. The optimal parameters of a laser system were found allowing one to generate ultrashort pulses (USP), the duration being determined by the transmittance bandwidth of intracavity frequency-selective elements. 23 refs., 6 figs.
