A laser designed so that several modes of oscillation with closely spaced wavelengths, in which the laser would normally oscillate, are synchronized so that a pulse of light, lasting for as little as a picosecond, is generated.  4, fiche 1, Anglais, - mode%2Dlocked%20laser

Fiche 2,  Justifications,  Anglais

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 DEF

A technique in which the phase of each mode of oscillation in a laser is locked to those of the two adjacent modes, so that a fixed-phase relationship arises between all the modes, resulting in the emission at intervals of about a nanosecond of short trains of extremely short pulses whose duration is of the order of picoseconds.  3, fiche 2, Anglais, - mode%20locking

Mode locking... is a method... to obtain ultra-short pulses from lasers, which are then called mode-locked lasers.  4, fiche 2, Anglais, - mode%20locking

Another reason to believe the spacecraft experienced high body rates is that the gyros-all three axes independently-were found in Whole Angle Mode(WAM) when the spacecraft was recovered. This mode is entered when the gyro's normal strap-down mode(a locked force-to-rebalance loop) cannot be maintained; this occurs when body rates exceed about 11°/s...  2, fiche 3, Anglais, - whole%20angle

whole angle mode: A mode of single-axis operation in which the pickoff output is a measure of the net angle of rotation since initialization.  3, fiche 3, Anglais, - whole%20angle

Le gyroscope est un appareil capable de fournir une direction physique de référence et, corrélativement, une information de rotation angulaire, sous forme d'un écart angulaire, ou d'un angle total [...] compris entre 0 et 360°, vis-à-vis d'un référentiel absolu ou «inertiel».  1, fiche 3, Français, - angle%20total
