Abstract
A mode-locked laser employs a light-wavelength-dependent, path-length adjuster to provide different path-lengths for multiple light frequencies and dual modulation frequencies selecting multiple modes with different wavelengths. The result is a single cavity laser producing mode-locked light outputs at defined different frequencies. Tuning of each frequency may be obtained by changing the laser modulation frequencies.
