A comprehensive treatment of ultrafast optics This book fills the need for a thorough and
detailed account of ultrafast optics. Written by one of the most preeminent researchers in the …

A numerical model for the calculation of noise spectra of actively or passively mode-locked
lasers has been developed. Fluctuations not only of the timing error, but also of all other …

We describe techniques for making sensitive and high-dynamic-range measurements of
laser amplitude and envelope phase noise (timing jitter) in the frequency domain at the shot …

The pulse-to-pulse rms timing jitter of a 5.25-GHz quantum-dot (QD) two-section passively
mode-locked laser is characterized through an all-microwave technique. The experimental …

We study the effect of delayed coherent optical feedback on the pulse timing jitter in
passively-mode-locked semiconductor lasers with the help of a semi-analytical method …

We investigate the amplitude and phase noise of an optical frequency comb based on
InAs/InP quantum-dash mode-locked laser. The laser demonstrates low relative intensity …

Laser noise has been of high interest for many years, both in the context of fundamental
physics and for a variety of laser applications. This chapter is meant to be an introduction …

We study the phase and amplitude stability of RF signals, generated at different frequencies
by heterodyning pairs of modes from the optical spectrum of an active mode-locked laser …

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 …

A Martinez-type stretcher-compressor is used to modify the spectral phases of a high-power
(∼ 1 W) quantum cascade laser (QCL) comb emitted at 8.2 μm with more than 100 cm^− 1 …
