Abstract
Wavelength tunable CW (continuous-wave) passive mode-locking of a two-section quantum-well laser coupled to an external cavity is demonstrated. A tuning range of 26 nm is achieved with typical autocorrelation full widths at half maximum of 4.5 ps. The pulses are not transform limited, having a typical time-bandwidth product of 2.5.Keywords
