Abstract
Recently, coherent superposition of two independently mode-locked, but spectrally overlapping Ti:sapphire laser oscillators has been demonstrated by means of external active control [1]. This concept opens up new perspectives in metrology with femtosecond mode combs (see e.g. [2, 3]), and might lead to phase coherent emission over much broader bandwidth as is possible from a single mode-locked laser (e.g. [4]). The corresponding pulses may reach the single-cycle regime.
