The vehicles used to chronicle the progress in this technology have often preceded any real market opportunity, instead hoping to stimulate the development of applications that would rely on dramatic cost-savings that PICs might deliver. With this model, WDM becomes a likely candidate for PIC technology. A number of simple photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are already commercially available in diverse application areas ranging from low-chirp integrated laser-electroabsorption modulator sources to high-power master oscillator-power amplifier (MOPA) sources.","PeriodicalId":346992,"journal":{"name":"Conference Digest. 15th IEEE International Semiconductor Laser Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131751930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this communication, we demonstrate a strong inter-dependence between the external and intrinsic cavity lengths in these mode-locked laser systems when an external chirp compensation is used. We found that the length of the external cavity (l/sub e/) must be equal to a multiple of the intrinsic laser diode cavity length (l/sub i/) to produce standard pulse structures with one sub-pulse per intrinsic cavity roundtrip time. Similarly, the external cavity length must be equal to (m+1/n)*l/sub i/, with m being an integer, to obtain n sub-pulses per intrinsic cavity roundtrip time. In our experiments, we observed pronounced pulse structures for n up to 8. This latter value corresponds to the generation of /spl sim/250 fs pulse trains with a pulse repetition rate of /spl sim/300 GHz and a total energy /spl sim/20-30 pJ.","PeriodicalId":346992,"journal":{"name":"Conference Digest. 15th IEEE International Semiconductor Laser Conference","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116564554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
