Abstract
We report on first results of active modelocking of interferometric Y- lasers in an external cavity. We achieved pulse widths between 20 and 30 ps for 1.3-mum and 1.55-mum devices by modulation of the injection current synchronously to the external cavity roundtrip frequency. A ti me-bandwidth-product of 0.97 was determined for 1.55-mum devices.
