Abstract :
A novel compact modelocking source using an electrically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) with an external fibre optic resonator is presented. CW threshold current of the modelocking configuration is as low as 1.7 mA. The output pulse width is 24 ps and the timing jitter of the pulses remains below 1 ps
