Abstract

The monolithic colliding-pulse mode-locked (CPM) semiconductor laser1 is a compact and reliable source of short optical pulses for use in high-bit-rate optical-communication systems. To date, several exciting experimental results have been reported, demonstrating pulse widths down to 610 fs and repetition rates up to 350 GHz.1,2 However, a detailed physical description of the mode locking mechanism has been missing, probably due in part to the lack of knowledge about the ultrafast loss dynamics in the InGaAsP system. Recent experimental results are limited to the AlGaAs material system.3
