“…The RMS timing jitter is calculated by integrating the phase noise curve using the expression [9] where f ML is the modelocking frequency, f low and f high are the lower and upper limits of the offset frequency range to be integrated, respectively, and P dBc is the noise power normalized to the carrier power (in 1 Hz).…”

A novel approach to residual jitter measurement examines the intensity crosscorrelation generated by two optical pulses with various relative delays. A relative delay of 25 pulses produces a residual jitter value of 26 fsec RMS for a 10 GHz actively modelocked ring laser. The phase noise measurement carried out to the Nyquist frequency (5 GHz) offset gives 47 fsec RMS pulse-to-pulse timing jitter. The field correlation measurement obtains a 10 asec RMS pulse-to-pulse optical carrier jitter.

“…Modelocked lasers produce a frequency comb for which the frequency spacing (i.e. the pulse repetition rate) has been stabilized in the 1980th [1,2] achieving close to quantum-noise limited performance with diode-pumped solid-state lasers [3]. However the stabilization of the frequency comb offset (i.e.…”

Dual-comb modelocked lasers: semiconductor saturable absorber mirror decouples noise stabilization

In this paper we present the stabilization of the pulse repetition rate of dual-comb lasers using an intracavity semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM) for passive modelocking and an intracavity birefringent crystal for polarization-duplexing to obtain simultaneous emission of two modelocked beams from the same linear cavity sharing all components. Initially surprising was the observation that the cavity length adjustments to stabilize one polarization did not significantly affect the pulse repetition rate of the other. We gained insight in the underlying physics using both a semiconductor and Nd:YAG laser gain material with the conclusion that the pulse arrival timing jitter of the two beams is decoupled by the uncorrelated time delay from the saturated SESAM and becomes locked with sufficient but not too much pulse overlap. Noise stabilization is in all cases still possible for both combs. The dual-comb modelocked laser is particularly interesting for the semiconductor laser enabling the integration of gain and absorber layers within one wafer (referred to as the modelocked integrated external-cavity surface emitting laser--MIXSEL).
