“…[5][6][7] Their broad gain bandwidth and reduced linewidth enhancement factor make them excellent candidates as sources of ultrashort, 8 low noise pulses. 9 Because of its low internal absorption loss, the QD-MMLD becomes feasible at low repetition rates below 10 GHz, in contrast to conventional QW/bulk lasers. 10 It should be noted that mode-locked operation of a QD monolithic device at a 5-GHz repetition rate has been demonstrated; 9 however, lower repetition rates are difficult to achieve due to fabrication difficulty.…”

We investigate an external cavity curved two-section mode-locked diode laser system based on quantum-dot (QD) gain media near 1.3μm. Pulses are generated from the external laser cavity at a 5-GHz repetition rate and amplified using a multilayer quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifier. The pulses are compressed with a dual-grating dispersion compensator. The shortest, near transform-limited pulses are obtained when the mode-locked pulses are positive (up) chirped. The compressed pulses are 1.2ps in duration, with a pulse energy of 1.46pJ, implying a peak power of 1.22W.

“…These chip-on-carriers were then packaged into an industry-standard 14-pin butterfly packages with a thermoelectric cooler (TEC) and a polarization-maintaining lensed fiber pigtail as shown in Fig. 1(b) [8]. The function of the packaged module is to reduce environmental noise and enhance mechanical stability.…”

The timing jitter performance of a 5 GHz quantum dot passively mode-locked laser is investigated at different harmonics in the RF spectrum. The necessity of measuring the phase noise at relatively large harmonic numbers is motivated experimentally in the context of determining the corner frequency, its correlation to the RF linewidth, and the related white noise plateau level. The single-sideband phase noise with an integrated timing jitter of 211 fs (4-80 MHz) is reported. An all-microwave technique has been used to determine a pulse-to-pulse rms timing jitter of 96 fs/cycle. This low timing jitter value makes the chip-scale quantum dot mode-locked laser an attractive source for low noise applications such as optical clocking and sampling.
