Abstract
Ultra-low jitter pulse trains are produced from a passively mode-locked erbium/ytterbium co-doped planar waveguide laser using high-bandwidth feedback control acting on the physical cavity length and optical pump power. Synchronization of a 750 MHz, fundamentally mode-locked laser to an external clock signal yields an ultra-low, root-mean-square relative timing jitter of 14.4 fs integrated from 10 Hz to the Nyquist frequency of 375 MHz.
