Abstract :
We have fabricated a simple VCSEL-fiber module for stable short pulse generation. The hybrid integration of amplifier and external cavity sections avoids the use of gratings or Fabry Perot etalons for frequency filtering and eases mechanical stability problems. The compact device generates 22 ps mode-locked pulses at a repetition rate of 821 MHz and launches the pulse sequence with timing jitter below 1 ps into a butt-coupled output fiber
