摘要
The 10-GHz passively mode-locked AlGaInAs/InP 1.55-mu m extended cavity lasers integrated with optimized surface-etched distributed Bragg mirrors have been fabricated. A quantum-well intermixing process was used to provide low-absorption loss gratings with accurate wavelength control. The lasers produce 2.99-ps sech(2)-pulses with a time-bandwidth product (TBP) of 0.51.
