Accurate tuning of a laser mode-locking device

Abstract

Two simple methods are described for accurately tuning a mode-locking device for a laser. The first is suitable for an acoustic diffraction cell and involves a simple measurement of the diffracted light. The second can be used with any type of active mode locking and requires only a photodiode and a simple low-frequency spectrum analyser.
