Abstract :
The authors have investigated the stability of an external cavity laser diode modelocked by optoelectronic feedback. The measured picosecond pulses at repetition frequencies of up to 1.2 GHz exhibit an amplitude and phase jitter of the order of a few percent, increasing with increasing repetition frequency
