Mode-locking via active gain modulation in quantum cascade lasers Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • A mode-locking mechanism by active gain modulation is studied numerically and experimentally. The parameter window for the emission of stable pulse trains was found. Pulses as short as 3ps (0.5pJ) were characterized by second-order autocorrelation. 2009 Optical Society of America.
