摘要
We track the dynamic response of GaAs quantum-well semiconductor diode lasers after injection of a femtosecond pulse, using ultrafast upconversion. The continuous-wave emission shows gain dynamics and relaxation oscillations on timescales of 1-100 ps. The recirculating femtosecond pulse evolves into an ultrafast "dark pulse" in the wake of subpicosecond oscillations. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
