Abstract :
Mode locking of a CO2laser through the use of cavity-length modulation is reported. A cavity end reflector was sinusoidally modulated along the cavity axis at a frequency equal to the quiescent axial mode interval. Phase-locked pulsing occurred at a rate equal to or twice the axial mode interval.
