Abstract

We analyse the dynamical behaviour of a Fourier domain mode locked laser experimentally and theoretically. Heterodyne measurements of laser dynamics allows some insight into the frequency behaviour of the laser which coupled with theoretical arguments from previous work allow for a clear interpretation of the observations. Direct simulations using a delay differential equation model in full FDML mode display excellent agreement with the experimental results.
