Abstract :
In this work we analyze the stability of an energy-scalable Cr:ZnSe oscillator and compare the limits of energy scalability in the positive-and negative-dispersion regimes.The stability analysis is based on the comprehensive numerical simulations within the cubic-quintic nonlinear complex Ginzburg-Landau model.
