  • Abstract
    The 45-GHz passively mode-locked AlGaInAs-InP 1.55- m lasers integrated with surface-etched distributed Bragg mirrors have been fabricated. Quantum-well intermixing was used to provide low absorption loss gratings with accurate wavelength control. The lasers produce 3.6-ps Gaussian pulses with time-bandwidth product of 0.57.
