Monolithic mode locked GaInAsP lasers

Some published results on mode locked monolithic lasers are reviewed. Optical spectra of a typical hybrid mode-locked monolithic device for different levels of RF power and frequency are shown and discussed, as are effects of detuning the modulation frequency. Design considerations are examined. These include the length of the device, the use of hybrid mode locking, and the choice of active or passive waveguides.<
