In this paper, we present results from monolithic passively mode-locked GaAs/AlGaAs
quantum well lasers operating at 830 nm. Colliding pulse mode locking is achieved at …

Semiconductor lasers have the potentia! to become compact sources of very high repetition
rate subpicosecond optical pulses. Using external cavities, semiconductor lasers have been …

For the first time to our knowledge, asymmetric pulse shapes and the linear and nonlinear
chirp from a passively mode-locked semiconductor laser are directly measured. For the laser …

High repetition rate picosecond pulses with low uncorrelated timing jitter (down to~ 0.25 ps)
have been generated at 1.55 µm from gain-and Q-switched InGaAsP lasers without external …
