Retiming dynamics of harmonically mode-locked laser solitons in a self-driven optomechanical lattice by Xiaocong Wang, Benhai Wang, Wenbin He, Xintong Zhang, Qi Huang, Zhiyuan Huang, Xin Jiang, Meng Pang, Philip. St. J. Russell

“…In addition, we show, through statistical analysis of the intra-cavity pulse spacing, how the trapping potentials are effective for suppressing timing jitter. The measurements and the theory developed in this work lay the groundwork for studies of the general stability and noise performance of harmonically mode-locked lasers as well as providing valuable insight into generic multi-pulse phenomena in mode-locked lasers.…”
