Abstract :
Mode-locked lasers show femtosecond and even attosecond level short term timing jitter. Such ultralow jitter sources enable novel systems. Timing distribution systems for next generation light sources and prototype high-speed, high-resolution photonic analog-to-digital converters are demonstrated.
