Nearly quantum-limited timing jitter in a self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser.

The experimentally measured timing jitter of a self-mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser is compared with the theoretically predicted quantum limit. Timing jitter figures of 150 fs (100-500 Hz) and 80 fs (500-5000 Hz), which approach the quantum limit, have been achieved by use of an improved cavity phase-locking technique.
