摘要：
Spurious sidebands observed in the noise spectrum of colliding-pulse mode-locking dye lasers result from coupling of the longitudinal mode beating modulations of the (argon-ion) pump laser with the dye laser. We achieve a 50-dB amplitude noise reduction at the mixing frequencies by inserting a single-frequency étalon in the argon-laser cavity. Furthermore, we find the amplitude noise of the colliding-pulse mode-locking laser to be entirely dominated by the (plasma discharge) noise of the argon laser. © 1990 Optical Society of America.
