Claim One:
1. A self-tuning mode-locked laser system, comprising: a mode-locked laser, including: a set of optical elements; and a set of servos, wherein each servo of the set of servos is coupled to an optical element of the set of optical elements; an optimization controller device, including: a dynamic behavior model data store configured to store a plurality of dynamic behavior models of the mode-locked laser; a servo controller engine coupled to each of the servos of the set of servos and configured to use the servos to control position settings of the optical elements; and a training engine configured to: instruct the servo controller engine to perform a sampling of position settings of the optical elements to create a training time series of objective function values based on an output of the mode-locked laser; create a training model based on the training time series; and store the training model and a corresponding set of optimal position settings in the dynamic behavior model data store; and a run-time tuning engine configured to: instruct the servo controller engine to perform a sampling of position settings of the optical elements to create a run-time time series of objective function values based on the output of the mode-locked laser; create a run-time model based on the run-time time series; select a training model from the dynamic behavior model data store that matches the run-time model; and instruct the servo controller engine to use the servos to place the optical elements at the optimal position settings corresponding to the training model.
