title: Additive-pulse limiting.
abstract: When lasers with a long gain-relaxation time are actively mode locked at a harmonic of the round-trip frequency, the energy fluctuates from pulse to pulse unless stabilized. We report a new principle for pulse energy stabilization in harmonically mode-locked lasers.
