We analyze the effects of noise on the power spectrum of pulse trains generated by a
continuously operating passively mode-locked laser. The shape of the different harmonics of …

Analytical expressions for the amplitude, frequency, timing, and carrier phase noise of mode-

The longitudinal linewidth and corresponding relative intensity noise (RIN) of 10-and 40-
GHz mode-locked laser diodes are measured for the first time to our knowledge. It is shown …

We experimentally verify the theory of Haus et al.[IEEE J. Quantum Electron. 40, 41 (2004)]

Summary form only given. We present a comprehensive model for the noise in active and
hybrid mode-locked semiconductor lasers. The model includes the effects of gain …

Large spectral broadening has been observed in an actively mode-locked semiconductor
laser tuned for minimum average pulsewidth. Numerical simulations show that the spectral …
