摘要
A low-loss passive waveguide, fabricated by quantum well intermixing (QWI), has been integrated with an active region to form a modelocked semiconductor laser with an extended passive cavity (ECL). The 4 mm-long device has a threshold current of 18 mA and, modelocking at 9.3 GHz, generates 3.5 ps wide optical pulses with jitter levels as low as 9.3 ps (1 kHz-1 MHz). The variation of the modelocking frequency with the biasing conditions of such devices is also measured and a tuning range of similar to 1% of the modelocking frequency is observed.
