Abstract
Mode-locked lasers produce short regular pulses suitable for interleaving after modulation in optically time division multiplexed systems. However, they require a long cavity outside the gain region. Early devices used bulk optical components to form the cavity.1 Recently, fiber and silicon waveguide resonators were demonstrated.2,3 However, integrated devices, including both the resonator and gain region (Fig. 1) could lower costs, increase mechanical stability, and improve performance.4
