Abstract

Monolithic and external-cavity mode-locked semiconductor lasers are highly stabilized by means of electrical or optical signal injection incorporating a compact device-module packaging. Potential applications of these MLLDs are described for high-bit-rate optical communication systems at over 40 Gbps rate, and for ultrahigh-speed optical measurement systems.
