Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate pulse-shaping experiments in which the individual spectral lines that are present in the output of a mode-locked laser ($8.5\mathrm{GHz}$ mode spacing, centered at $1542\mathrm{nm}$) are resolved. The shaped pulses overlap in time, and this leads to a new way to observe fluctuations of the comb-offset frequency in the time domain.
