Existing frequency domain models for the active mode locking of diode lasers are
appropriate for antireflection-(AR-) coated devices. This paper presents the first frequency …

For the first time to our knowledge, asymmetric pulse shapes and the linear and nonlinear
chirp from a passively mode-locked semiconductor laser are directly measured. For the laser …

The pulse width of an actively mode-locked GaAsl AIGaAs laser diode in an external cavity
configuration is continuously decreased from 22 to 7 ps by tuning the laser wavelength from …

Repetition-frequency tuning characteristics of passively mode-locked laser diodes (LDs)
were investigated in detail. Anomalous tuning characteristics were observed when the bias …

The direct use of diode lasers for high-power applications in material processing is limited to
applications with relatively low beam quality and power density requirements. To achieve …

A fundamental limitation on pulse advance or delay in mode-locked lasers is described by
the impulse response of the intracavity bandwidth limitation, which is roughly equal to the …

Narrow linewidth and stabilized light injection is employed to reduce the phase noise and
stabilize the frequencies of individual teeth of an active mode-locked laser diode (ML-LD) …

A theoretical model is constructed that describes the operation of a pulsed mode-locked
laser simultaneously operating at N frequency channels. The model, which is a combination …

In this paper, we present a new discrete model describing the steady-state characteristics of
dispersion-tuned actively mode-locked fiber lasers pulses after each component in the …

A theoretical description of the pulse dynamics in a modelocked laser including gain
dynamics is developed. Relaxation oscillations and frequency pulling are predicted that …
