Mode Locking Stability Regimes in Tapered Quantum Dot Lasers

We predict the onset of leading and trailing edge instabilities in the optical pulse train of monolithic tapered passively mode-locked quantum dot lasers. Experimentally, we confirm these predictions by amplitude and timing stability analysis of the pulse trains.
