Frequency-modulation mode locking of a semiconductor laser.
We report FM mode locking in an extended-cavity semiconductor laser containing a tunable distributed Bragg reflector gain medium operating near 1.5 microm. We demonstrate the generation of pulses with 24-ps duration at a repetition rate of 1.5 GHz.
