Direct generation of sub-picosecond pulse via multi-section gain switching

Abstract

We have directly generated optical pulses having a duration of 0.56 ps with a peak power of 25 W by gain switching of multi-section semiconductor lasers in which the optimized lengths of the absorption and gain regions were 50 and 200 µm, respectively. Even though the experiment was conducted via impulsive optical pumping at a low temperature, we observed that the multi-section gain switching suppresses the low-energy tail and chirping inherent to conventional gain switching in single-section lasers and is useful in direct short-pulse generation.
