The timing jitter, optical phase noise, and carrier-envelope offset (CEO) noise of passively
mode-locked lasers are closely related. New key results concern analytical calculations of …

An analysis of the pulse-to-pulse timing jitter in an actively mode-locked laser is presented.
The model includes spontaneous emission noise, mode-locker driver phase noise, and …

The effect of current fluctuations on the linewidth of semiconductor lasers is analyzed using
the single-mode rate equations. Since the time scale of such fluctuations can generally be …

We derive the Schawlow-Townes linewidth of mode-locked lasers, and discuss how the
timing jitter affects the linewidth in passively/actively mode-locked laser diodes (MLLD's) …

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 …

Efficient and cost-effective Si-compatible lasers are a longstanding wish of the
optoelectronic industry. In principle, there are two options. For many applications, lasers …

Electric-field correlation measurements of fundamental and harmonic modelocked external
cavity semiconductor lasers are presented. Based on these results, an empirical model of a …

The linewidth of the individual modes of an actively mode-locked extended-ring-cavity
semiconductor laser is reduced from a free running linewidth of over 200-20 kHz by the …

Amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) causes fluctuations of pulse energy, of the optical
phase and of the timing of the pulse intensity envelope in a mode-locked laser or frequency …

Amplitude-modulation (AM) sideband injection-locking characteristics of 1.3-mu m
distributed-feedback lasers are studied experimentally. When the master laser light, which is …
