Abstract

The highly efficient and compact nature of semiconductor diode lasers makes these sources attractive for generating short optical pulses. Signal stripe devices have been mode locked in an external cavity using a multiple-quantum-well (MQW) saturable absorber.1,2 Without external amplifiers, the maximum average power was limited to 1 mW.
