Abstract :
Injection locking is utilized to synchronize an additive-pulse mode-locked fiber laser to an external pulsed 76.0-MHz laser source. The spectral and temporal performance of the additive-pulse mode-locked fiber laser and the required conditioning are discussed. A low-jitter temporal synchronization is achieved.
