Abstract

A quadratic two-photon photocurrent is measured in a novel multiple-quantum well GaAs laser waveguide at 1550nm. We show that this device is ideal for nonlinear detection and signal processing applications due to its large efficiency and high sensitivity. In particular, we measure the autocorrelation trace of a 100 fs pulse using sub-watt peak power levels.
