Abstract :
A simple theory is developed for the modelocking of a laser diode in an external resonator, with inclusion of the composite Fabry-Perot resonator effect. The achievable pulsewidth is evaluated. The derivation is different from that of a previously published paper and leads to different conclusions. Reasons for the discrepancy are discussed.
