Two types of supermode noise spurs, uncorrelated and correlated, are measured for two
different types of harmonically mode-locked lasers utilizing a dual grating pulse shaper as a …

In a harmonically mode-locked laser multiple optical pulses propagate inside the laser
cavity. The noise in different pulses inside the laser cavity is in general correlated …

The measurement, design, and theory of ultralow-noise actively modelocked lasers are

Broad-band amplitude noise (100 MHz to 20 GHz) of 40 GHz pulses generated by a
subharmonically hybrid mode-locked (SHML) monolithic semiconductor laser is …

We report a semiconductor-based, low-noise, 10.24 GHz actively mode-locked laser with
4.65 fs of relative timing jitter and a 0.0365% amplitude fluctuation (1 Hzto100 MHz) of the …

A novel method is presented to provide long-term stabilization of an injection-locked
harmonically mode-locked laser to a narrow linewidth continuous-wave (CW) source for the …
