Abstract
Active mode-locking of a GaInAsP semiconductor diode amplifier, coupled to an external cavity incorporating an optical fibre grating as a bandwidth limiting and wavelength selective mirror, is reported. The grating defined the central emission wavelength to the 1.53 μm region where mode-locked pulses having durations of less than 10 ps were generated at a repetition rate of 648 MHz
