Abstract
It is demonstrated that -switching dynamics in mode-locked lasers can be controlled by use of an active feedback loop. Analytic design rules for the feedback loop are presented. Suppression of -switched mode locking in a diode-pumped, passively mode-locked laser is shown experimentally and numerically.
