Experimental and theoretical investigations showed that dynamic gain saturation in the presence of self-phase modulation shifts the emission wavelength of ultrashort pulses to the red or blue part of the spectrum of lasers mode-locked by self-focusing. Selection of the ratios of the rates of saturation of the gain and losses in the presence of such a shift makes it possible to increase mode-locking stability. (control of laser radiation parameters)
