Abstract
Analytical expressions for the amplitude, frequency, timing, and carrier phase noise of mode-locked laser diodes (MLLDs) are derived. It is found both experimentally and theoretically that carrier dynamics contribute to the total noise of MLLDs. In addition, we demonstrate how to capture the high-frequency timing jitter with optical cross correlations
