摘要：

By using ultrahigh speed photodetector and wide bandwidth spectrum analyzer combinations, a noise characterization of the pulse train from a mode-locked KC1:T1 color-center laser has been performed. Amplitude and phase (timing jitter) noise content are quantified and compared when the laser is operated in both synchronously mode-locked and coupled-cavity mode-locked configurations. Through deliberately mismatching the color-center laser cavity frequency with respect to that of the Nd: YAG pump-laser and examining resultant noise burst power spectra, it has been confirmed that the coupled-cavity mode-locking process exhibits passive characteristics. © 1990 IEEE
