Abstract

A mode-locked sampled-grating distributed-Bragg-reflector (SGDBR) laser diode for generating a train of light pulses at terahertz repetition rates is proposed with a numerical analysis based on a time-domain large-signal model. The device consists of three parts: the saturable absorber section which serves as a mode-locker, the gain section as an amplifier, and the SGDBR as a spectrum filter. It is predicted that spectrum filtering of the SGDBR along with passive mode locking due to the saturable absorber is effective in generating a train of transform-limited mode-locked pulses at a high repetition rate.
