Abstract
A high finesse optical resonator is used to store optical pulses of a mode-locked laser. The mode-locked laser is frequency stabilized by monitoring an optical attribute of the high finesse optical resonator indicative of a difference between a center frequency of the mode-locked laser and a resonant frequency of the high finesse optical resonator. In one embodiment FM sideband modulation is used to stabilize the mode-locked laser pulses.
