“…When the light of the master laser is injected to the slave laser, injection locking can be reached once the wavelength of injected light is close to any oscillating longitudinal mode's wavelength. Injection locking of a 1.3 µm QD laser has been demonstrated [62] to provide single longitudinal mode operation with a 40 dB side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) and an improvement in RIN peak from 1.3 to 2.3 GHz. A value for α-factor of 0.8 is obtained from the power depending locking range.…”

In this review, the potential of mode-locked lasers based on advanced quantum-dot (QD) active media to generate short optical pulses is analysed. A comprehensive review of experimental and theoretical work on related aspects is provided, including monolithic-cavity mode-locked QD lasers and external-cavity mode-locked QD lasers, as well as mode-locked solid-state and fibre lasers based on QD semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors. Performance comparisons are made for state-of-the-art experiments. Various methods for improving important characteristics of mode-locked pulses such as pulse duration, repetition rate, pulse power, and timing jitter through optimization of device design parameters or mode-locking methods are addressed. In addition, gain switching and self-pulsation of QD lasers are also briefly reviewed, concluding with the summary and prospects.
