Abstract
A simple passive electrical circuit that is able to suppress Q-switching instabilities in mode-locked semiconductor quantum dot lasers has been demonstrated. By connecting frequency-selective electrical components to the absorber section of a monolithic two-section tapered laser, a team at the Technical University of Darmstadt in Germany were able to eliminate the Q-switching instabilities and extend the stable mode-locking range.
