Abstract:
We investigate both experimentally and theoretically
the behavior of pulse jitter in compact disk (CD) self-pulsating
lasers that have been synchronized to an applied periodic electrical
signal. Our investigations reveal that pulse-to-pulse jitter in a
synchronized laser is almost entirely unchanged from that in an
unsynchronized laser under the same bias conditions. The major
effect of synchronization is the suppression of long term jitter.
