  • Abstract
    24 ps optical pulses of peak power in excess of 1.3 watts are continuously generated at GHz repetition rates using a GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well broad area laser with an intracavity loss modulator. Efficient high power light modulation is also demonstrated with the same structure.
