The superfluorescent mode-locked laser is a mode-locked laser operated inside a high-Q cavity. In this regime, the laser has properties similar to those of an infinite travelling wave swept-gain laser amplifier (SGLA), exhibiting superfluorescent behaviour at high gain to loss ratios. The known characteristics of this limit are the evolution of pulses with duration less than the inverse gain bandwidth, the appearance of coherent ringing on the trailing edge of the pulses and of macroscopic phase-wave fluctuations on the intensity envelope of the pulses1. |
