Abstract
We use an oscillating resonant tunneling diode as the driver of an ext ernal cavity diode laser to produce active mode locked light pulses in the picosecond range. We demonstrate dc voltage-controlled uniform te mporal positioning, or time shifting, or the laser pulses with referen ce to a synthesizer based reference signal. This may be very useful fo r picosecond time-resolved applications.
