Abstract
We demonstrate a hybridly modelocked multiwavelength semiconductor laser using an intracavity saturable absorber. Intensity autocorrelations show improved interchannel phase coherence versus active modelocking. Eye diagrams illustrate the suppression of mode partition noise and the production of error-free optical pulse trains in each of the multiwavelength channels.
