Abstract: A mode locking device is disclosed for altering repetition rate in a mode-locked laser. In an example device, laser light is coupled from a fiber into a cavity through a sliding pigtail collimator with a diameter selected such that it is a close tolerance fit with a female snout on a package. A lens focuses laser light to an appropriate spot size onto a SAM or SESAM, such that back-reflection into the fiber is maximized. A piezoelectric transducer is mounted in cooperation with the SAM or SESAM for cavity tuning.
