Abstract As an important component of optical frequency combs, mode-locked lasers are also the main source of noise in optical frequency combs. This paper focuses on the effect of the cavity structure of mode-locked lasers on noise performance. At a pump power of 793 mW, the integrated timing jitter within the range of 10 Hz-10 kHz for the ring cavity, $\sigma$ cavity, and Figure-9 cavity is 216 fs, 307 fs, and 107 fs, respectively, while the integrated relative intensity noise from 1 Hz to 1 MHz is 0.0050%, 0.0029%, and 0.0037%, respectively. The Figure-9 cavity demonstrates superior noise performance, and the $\sigma$ cavity based on nonlinear polarization rotation also exhibits certain resistance to noise interference.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
