Abstract

Noise characteristics are studied for a self-stabilized laser utilizing the interplay between the intracavity dispersion and the optical frequency shift. The noise suppression bandwidth of this scheme is from 0 to similar to 100 KHz and showed the reduction of residual timing jitter (integrated from 0.9 Hz to 1 MHz) from 2.2 fs to 660 attosecond which represents, to our knowledge, the lowest timing jitter reported for an actively mode-locked laser.
