Abstract

Summary form only given. Ultrashort pulse amplification in laser diode amplifiers (LDA´s) has attracted considerable attention because of its potential applications in optical communication and signal processing. With the advent of LDA´s with tapered-waveguide, several groups have investigated both experimentally and theoretically the prospect of generating high-power picosecond pulses using such devices. In this paper, we report the first subpicosecond pulse amplification experiment in LDA´s with tapered-waveguide (TW-LDA).
