Abstract
Theoretical results for active mode locked semiconductor lasers explain the multiple pulse phenomena seen for all experimental results to date showing subpicosecond pulses. Dynamic detuning, due to gain saturation, causes multiple pulse output by moving the main pulse away from the peak in the gain waveform. This mechanism also limits the inherent pulse width achievable with a given modulation waveform.
