Abstract
We propose a novel technique based on negative impulse modulation for pulse repetition rate multiplication by rational harmonic mode locking with pulse-amplitude-equalized pulses directly from the laser cavity. We have generated a pulse train of with more than suppression of unwanted amplitude modulation spurs by using a RF signal. This is the highest suppression ratio for a repetition rate multiplication factor of 15 to our knowledge.
