A method combining analytical and numerical approaches for estimation of pulse timing jitter is proposed. We investigate how the presence of dynamical features such as wavelength bistability in a quantum-dot laser affects timing jitter.en©2014 Optical Society of AmericaNoiseTiming jittersMode-locked lasersSemiconductorsArticlePimenov, A., T.
