Abstract
A new method to measure the chirp of pulses emitted from repetitively driven lasers is described, The technique relies on spectrally filteri ng the output of the laser, detecting it, and then measuring its phase with respect to a reference signal via a mixing technique. We demonst rate the method by measuring the chirp of pulses emitted from monolith ic CPM lasers, The measured chirp agrees with that predicted by a newl y developed model of the CPM lasers.
