Abstract
The reciprocal relationship betvveen time and frequency implies that a single short laser pulse has a broad spectrum. A pulse circulating inside a laser cavity or the periodic pulse train if a mode-locked laser, however, can be described as a coherent superposition of discrete laser moders.
