TLDR
In this paper, a Nd3+:YAG laser with multiple mode locking was used to obtain optical pulses up to 1.25 Gbit/s with the carrier frequency of mode-locked pulses tuned through several tens of gigahertz by tilting an intracavity tuning etalon.Abstract:
Optical pulses up to 1.25 Gbit/s were obtained with a Nd3+:YAG laser by multiple mode locking. The carrier frequency of mode-locked pulses was tuned through several tens of gigahertz by tilting an intracavity tuning etalon. Some detuning effects in forced mode locking will be also presented.read more

FM and AM mode locking of the homogeneous laser - Part I: Theory
D. Kuizenga,Anthony E. Siegman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a complex Gaussian pulse is followed through one pass around the laser cavity to keep the pulse Gaussian, and the analysis is further extended to include effects of detuning of the modulator, in which case analytical expressions are obtained for the phase shift of the pulse within the modulation cycle, the shift of pulse spectrum off line center, the change in pulse length, and change in power output.
