Femtosecond comb linewidths due to pulse dynamics in mode-locked laser

Measurements of the pulse dynamics in a mode-locked laser show that gain dynamics must be included. The dynamical response of the timing and phase are measured using femtosecond comb techniques, allowing prediction of the width of the comb lines due to noise.
