“…It was found that not only mode-locking of both the mode groups was observed but also their pulses were synchronized. A similar mode-locking characteristic was also observed by Tahvili et al [142] in a dual-wavelength mode-locked laser, which corresponds to lasing emission from the same electronic transition of a 2×4000 µm 2 twosection device. In addition, employing a long 13 mm device (650 µm long SA), a stable mode locking of 3 GHz was also demonstrated which is the lowest repetition rate reported for a monolithic InAs/InP Qdots laser.…”

The advances in lasers, electronic and photonic integrated circuits (EPIC), optical interconnects as well as the modulation techniques allow the present day society to embrace the convenience of broadband, high speed internet and mobile network connectivity. However, the steep increase in energy demand and bandwidth requirement calls for further innovation in ultra-compact EPIC technologies. In the optical domain, innovation in the laser technologies beyond the current quantum well (Qwell) based laser technologies are already taking place and presenting very promising results. Homogeneously grown quantum dot (Qdot) lasers, can serve in the future energy saving information and communication technologies (ICT) as the work-horse for transmitting information through optical fiber. The encouraging results in the zero-dimensional (0D) structures emitting at 980 nm, in the form of vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), are already operational at low threshold current density and capable of 40 Gbps error-free transmission at 108 fJ/bit. Eventual achievements for lasers operating in the O-, C-, L-, U-bands, and beyond will eventually lay the foundation for green ICT. On the hand, the inhomogeneously grown quasi 0D quantum dash (Qdash) lasers are brilliant solutions for potential broadband connectivity in server farms or access network. A single broadband Qdash laser operating in the stimulated emission mode can replace tens of discrete narrow-band lasers in dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) transmission thereby further saving energy, cost and footprint. In this article, we review the progress of both Qdots and Qdash devices based on the InAs/InGaAlAs/InP and InAs/InGaAsP/InP material systems, from the angles of growth and device performance.2

“…Recently, hybrid mode-locking in two section InAs/InGaAsP/(100)-InP Qdots laser was investigated [142,143]. In this case an electrical modulation, with frequency close to the cavity freespectral range, is added to a reversely biased SA.…”

ABSTRACTIn this paper we present recent results obtained in the area of monolithically integrated modelocked semiconductor laser systems using generic InP based integration platform technology operating around 1550nm. Standardized components defined in this technology platform can be used to design and realize short pulse lasers and optical pulse shapers. This makes that these devices can be realized on wafers that can contain many other devices. In the area of short pulse lasers we report design studies based on measured optical amplifier performance data. This work has the ultimate goal to establish a library of widely applicable short pulse laser designs. Such lasers can include components for e.g. wavelength control. An important boundary condition on the laser design is that the laser can be located anywhere on the InP chip.In the area of pulse shaping we report on a 20 channel monolithic pulse shaper capable of phase and amplitude control in each channel. Special attention is given to the calibration of the phase modulator and amplifier settings. Pulse compression and manipulation of pulse generated from modelocked semiconductor lasers is demonstrated using a 40 GHz quantum ...
