Abstract

A monolithic ~1.55-μm colliding-pulse mode-locked AlGaInAs/InP laser with a three-quantum-well active layer incorporating a passive far-held reduction layer has been demonstrated. The device emits pulses at 162 GHz, with a pulsewidth of 0.98 ps, a pulse energy of 0.13 pJ, and a time-bandwidth product of 0.52, while demonstrating a low divergence angle (12.7° × 26.3°) with a twofold improvement in butt coupling efficiency to a flat cleaved single-mode fiber, compared to the conventional mode-locked lasers.
