Abstract :
A numerical model of a mode-locked semiconductor laser operated at the third harmonic of its cavity resonance predicts cyclic variations in the amplitudes of the three pulses circulating the cavity. These variations are phase-locked because of coupling via the carrier density, and are explained using simple rules.
