Synchronization of Dissipative Soliton Resonance Lasers via Cascaded Cross-Phase and Cross-Absorption Modulation for Mid-infrared Mode-locked Pulse Generation

Abstract

Cross-phase and cross-absorption modulation effect is used to synchronize the pulse repetition frequency and duration of two dissipative soliton resonance mode-locked lasers, which were subsequently used in to generate mid-infrared pulses via difference frequency generation.
