Abstract
Very efficient ultrastable millimetre-wave signal generation using hyb rid modelocking of a monolithic distributed Bragg reflector semiconduc tor laser is demonstrated for the first time. Unlike conventional hybr id modelocking methods, a low-power (-1dBm) RF signal is applied to th e saturable absorber section of the laser. The detected laser output g ives a 34GHz signal with phase noise <--70dBc/Hz at 5kHz offset.
