Effects of partial coherence on frequency combs
Abstract
frequency comb when the effects of random variations, from pulse
to pulse, in the amplitude, phase, shape, chirp, and timing jitter
are simultaneously taken into account. This model is consistent
with the previous experimental research and extends the
theoretical work on spectral line widths of mode-locked lasers.
