Passively Mode-Locked Semiconductor Lasers

This thesis investigates the dynamics of passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers, with a focus on the influence of optical feedback on the noise characteristics. Passively mode-locked lasers can produce pulse trains and have applications in the contexts of optical clocking, microscopy and optical data communication, among others.

Aceasta teza investigheaza dinamica laserelor semiconductoare blocate in mod pasiv, cu accent pe influenta feedbackului optic asupra caracteristicilor de zgomot. Laserele blocate in mod pasiv pot produce trenuri de impulsuri si pot avea aplicatii, printre altele, in contextul ceasului optic, microscopiei si comunicarii optice de date.
