This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of laser operation, including dispersion, absorption, and emission processes. It delves into the mechanisms of active and passive modelocking, exploring the modulation of cavity loss and the implementation of FM modulation. The lecture also discusses the synchronization of metronomes and the historical significance of Huygens' discovery of sympathetic pendulum clocks.
