Mode-Locked Laser Diode with Highly-Stacked InAs Quantum Dots
摘要
Mode-locked laser diodes were fabricated with highly-stacked InAs quantum dots (QDs) using a strain compensation technique. Due to the use of high-density QDs, a wide-band gain was obtained, which resulted in a narrow pulse width and high repetition rate. Optical pulse trains of 20, 80, and 100 GHz with about 1ps pulse width were obtained depending on cavity length.
