III-V-on-silicon anti-colliding pulse-type mode-locked laser

Opt Lett. 2015 Jul 1;40(13):3057-60. doi: 10.1364/OL.40.003057.

Abstract

An anti-colliding pulse-type III-V-on-silicon passively mode-locked laser is presented for the first time based on a III-V-on-silicon distributed Bragg reflector as outcoupling mirror implemented partially underneath the III-V saturable absorber. Passive mode-locking at 4.83 GHz repetition rate generating 3 ps pulses is demonstrated. The generated fundamental RF tone shows a 1.7 kHz 3 dB linewidth. Over 9 mW waveguide coupled output power is demonstrated.
