Ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and frequency combs: principles, status, and applications
Abstract
We review the most recent progress in ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and fiber-based frequency-comb sources. With the rapid progress in theory, measurement, and control of noise in passively mode-locked fiber lasers, we have reached the point where the residual carrier–envelope-offset phase jitter (when stabilized) and pulse timing jitter performance of such laser sources can be fully optimized to the unprecedented levels of attoseconds regime. In this paper, first, major principles in building such low-noise passively mode-locked fiber lasers are reviewed. We then define noise in mode-locked fiber lasers and present the basic theoretical and numerical framework for analyzing the noise in mode-locked fiber lasers. More detailed discussions on theory, measurement methods, state-of-the-art performances, and stabilization methods of intensity noise, timing jitter, and comb-line frequency noise follow. Finally, we overview today’s most representative applications of such ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers and frequency-comb sources. As an already powerful tool for various high-precision applications, ultralow-noise mode-locked fiber lasers will keep finding more exciting applications in optical science and photonic technology in the coming years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
