Ultrashort Q-switched pulses from a passively mode-locked distributed Bragg reflector semiconductor laser

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A compact semiconductor mode-locked laser (MLL) is presented that demonstrates strong passive Q-switched mode-locking over a wide range of drive conditions. The Q-switched frequency is tunable between 1 and 4 GHz for mode-locked pulses widths around 3.5 ps. The maximum ratio of peak to average power of the pulse-train is >120, greatly exceeding that of similarly sized passively MLLs.
