title: Noise transfer functions of mode-locked semiconductor laser.
abstract: The noise behavior of mode-locked semiconductor ring laser, including timing jitter, and pulse energy fluctuation are investigated using the notion of a noise transfer function. Numerical simulation predicts that semiconductor mode-locked lasers have very complex structure in the transfer function which is confirmed experimentally by corresponding noise measurements.
