Abstract
Optical pulse generation in the millimeter-wave (mm-wave) range is a key technology for future high-bit-rate fiber transmission systems and mm-wave fiber-radio systems. Semiconductor ring mode-locked lasers (R-MLLD)1 are promising for these applications because of the controllability of their repetition frequency and facility in monolithic integration. In this paper, we report the fabrication and operation of semiconductor R-MLLDs employing curved passive deep-ridge waveguides (PRWs).
