  2. Longitudinal modes: Recapitulation D las = Spectral width of each mode

  3. Quality factor, Q T 0 = Time interval between two successive maxima  = Time for decay of amplitude to A 0 / e T 0 <<  D las = Spectral width of each mode

  4. Longitudinal modes in a bunch

  5. I = A*A I peak = N 2 E 0 2

  6. Modelocking Intensity = Modulus squared electric field I peak = N 2 E 0 2

  7. Repetition rate Intensity = Modulus squared electric field First maximum: Second maximum: Difference in time T = t 2 – t 1 :

  8. Pulse duration Intensity = Modulus squared electric field
