Abstract Simulations of a mode-locked diode laser based on a travelling-wave rate-equation model have been compared with experiments. The pulse measurement technique involved a conventional intensity autocorrelator together with an internally generated second-harmonic emission measurement set-up. The latter is ideal for systematic relative measurements. For the first time, pulse evolution as a function of the number of round-trips was measured. Short optical pulses were obtained after approximately 40 round-trips. The experimental and simulated detuning range was about 1 MHz and the d.c. bias dependence was investigated.
