The response of a passive mode-locking mechanism, where gain and spectral filtering are saturated with the energy and loss saturated with the power, is examined under the presence of higher order effects. These include third order…
The behaviour of the photon renormalization function in strong coupling QED has been recently studied by Kondo, Mino and Nakatani. We find that the sharp decrease in its behaviour at intermediate photon momenta is an artefact of the method…
