Abstract
Mode-locked laser systems generate extremely short optical pulses and are widely used for measurements of ultrafast phenomena. In these experiments, the effect of laser pulse timing fluctuations (jitter) is suppressed by exciting the system under test by the pulsed laser and probing with a delayed portion of the same optical pulse. If the experiment cannot be laser-excited or must be excited and probed by different lasers, timing jitter degrades the time resolution and introduces noise.
