An InGaAsP 1.3micron optical amplifier-modulator integrated with a fiber-resonator mode-locked laser.
01 January 1984
An InGaAsP 1.3micron amplifier-modulator integrated with a laser which is mode-locked in a fiber resonator is demonstrated. Transform limited pulses with 25ps duration were gated by the amplifier-modulator at a repetition rate of 1.05 GHz with an on/off ratio of 20dB.
