Optimization of Timing Jitter Reduction by Optical Feedback for a Passively Mode-Locked Laser

We investigate the effect of optical self-feedback on the timing jitter of a passively mode-locked (ML) laser and compare the von Linde method with two pure time domain methods for calculating the timing jitter of such a system. We find that all three methods yield the same dependence of the timing...
