Abstract :
We have fabricated actively mode-locked lasers integrated with electroabsorption modulators and chirped gratings. A schematic drawing of the monolithic laser integrated with an EA modulator and a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) is shown. Short pulses of less than 6 ps were generated over a wide frequency range from 18.9 GHz to 19.8 GHz.
