F0 = 10, d2 = 1, d3 = 1 a Intracavity field as detuning ζ0 is increased. d1 = − 1.34 b Individual time domain and c frequency domain of the fields in a (red arrows). Pulse-drive envelope F(τ) marked by dashed line, and zero-dispersion frequency marked by dotted line, with normal dispersion on the righthand side. d Alternative field formation with (i) d1 = − 1.20 (ii) d1 = − 1.29 (iii) d1 = − 1.36 (iv) d1 = − 1.37. White-dashed line marks the pulse-drive center. e (left) Total intracavity energy from a (right) Zoom of the “step” feature, plotted for different values of desynchronization d1. The black line corresponds to the field given in a.
