Abstract
Ultrafast subpicosecond optical pulse generation is achieved by passive colliding‐pulse mode locking of monolithic multiple quantum wellInGaAsPsemiconductor lasers. Transform‐limited optical pulses with durations of 1.1, 0.83, 1.0, and 0.64 ps are achieved at repetition rates of 40, 80, 160, and 350 GHz, respectively, without using any external ac sources.Keywords
