Abstract

A 10-mm-long four-section distributed Bragg reflector laser with a double-quantum-well heterostructure at 920 nm was realized. A maximum optical pulse power of 3.6 W with a repetition rate of 4.1 GHz corresponding to the laser length was reached. The full-width at half-maximum of the pulses was 7 ps measured with an autocorrelator. A maximum pulse energy of 25 pJ was reached.
