Abstract
To the knowledge of the authors, the first amplitude moduation (AM) and phase modulation (PM) noise measurements out to Nyquist frequency offsets for an external cavity semiconductor laser hybridly modelocked at 10 GHz are reported. The differing noise properties of a fundamentally modelocked and a harmonically modelocked cavity (both producing 10 GHz pulsetrains) are compared.Keywords
