Abstract :
A commercially available gain-switched diode laser was injection seeded by a CW laser diode to provide a controlled frequency chirped output which was compressed by a grating pair and telescope. Pulses were generated with a width of 12 ps and a peak power of 0.19 W at a repetition rate of 3.2 GHz
