41 GHz and 10.6 GHz low threshold and low noise InAs/InP quantum dash two-section mode-locked lasers in L band

This paper reports recent results on InAs/InP quantum dash-based, two-section, passively mode-locked lasers pulsing at 41 GHz and 10.6 GHz and emitting at 1.59 μ m at 20 °C. The 41-GHz device (1 mm long) starts lasing at 25 mA under uniform injection and the 10.6 GHz (4 mm long) at 71 mA. Their outp...

Description
Summary:This paper reports recent results on InAs/InP quantum dash-based, two-section, passively mode-locked lasers pulsing at 41 GHz and 10.6 GHz and emitting at 1.59 μ m at 20 °C. The 41-GHz device (1 mm long) starts lasing at 25 mA under uniform injection and the 10.6 GHz (4 mm long) at 71 mA. Their output pulses are significantly chirped. The 41-GHz laser exhibits 7 ps pulses after propagation in 60 m of a single-mode fiber. The 10.6-GHz laser generates one picosecond pulses with 545 m of a single-mode fiber. Its single side-band phase noise does not exceed -80 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, leading to an average timing jitter of 800 fs.
