متن کاملSUB-PICOSECOND OPTICAL PULSE GENERATION AT 350 GHz IN MONOLITHIC PASSIVE CPM MQW LASERS
Sub-picosecond optical pulses have been successfully generated using a novel monolithic passive colliding pulse mode-locked (CPM)l semiconductor multiple quantum-well (MQW) laser. Transform-limited pulse width of 830 femto-seconds is achieved at a wavelength of 1.5pm and a repetition rate of 80 GHz. The measured timebandwidth product is 0.31. A record high repetition rate of 350 GHz is also dem...
متن کاملCoherent passive mode-locking in lasers: Qualitative analysis and numerical simulations
In the present work we report the possibility of passive mode-locking based on the coherent interaction of light with the amplifying and absorbing media in lasers with ring and linear cavities. We consider the realistic and practically interesting case when the absorbing and amplifying media are separated in the cavity space but not homogeneously mixed in the volume of the cavity, as was consid...
متن کاملImproved Active Region Designs for Mode Locking in Quantum Cascade Lasers
Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have progressed rapidly due to their intrinsic design potential [1]. These unipolar semiconductor lasers are based on intersubband transitions in multiple quantum-well structures. The design of alternating wells and barriers make QCLs a unique candidate to serve as a semiconductor source of ultra-short pulses in the mid-infrared region [2]. Ultrashort pulses which ...
متن کاملMode-Locking Ultrafast Solid-State Lasers with Saturable Bragg Reflectors
We discuss mode-locking of low-gain solid-state lasers using a semiconductor saturable Bragg reflector structure. This recently developed low-loss mode-locking device consists of a single quantum well which acts as a saturable absorber incorporated into a high-reflectivity Bragg mirror. Highly stable mode-locking in solid-state lasers results from an ultrafast transient reflectivity in the devi...
