在这方面的贡献，我们实验证明了被动锁模半导体激光器的动态特性的变化和改善受到两个外腔的光反馈耦合反馈脉冲回增益段。据此，我们调整两个外腔的脉冲到脉冲周期的完整延迟相位分别和演示的重复率，定时抖动，多脉冲形成和边带抑制的变化，为第一次这样的双反馈配置。此外，我们从而确认建模预测实现了良好的定性和定量的实验和模拟结果的协议。我们的研究结果为实现基于锁模激光器的无边带全光光子振荡器提供了一条途径。
In this contribution we experimentally demonstrate the change and improvement of dynamical properties of a passively mode-locked semiconductor laser subject to optical feedback from two external cavities by coupling the feedback pulses back into the gain segment. Hereby, we tune the full delay-phase of the pulse-to-pulse period of both external cavities separately and demonstrate the change of the repetition rate, timing jitter, multi-pulse formation and side-band suppression for the first time for such a dual feedback configuration. In addition, we thereby confirm modeling predictions by achieving both a good qualitative and quantitative agreement of experimental and simulated results. Our findings suggest a path towards the realization of side-band free all-optical photonic oscillators based on mode-locked lasers.
