Lp. Barry et al., FREQUENCY-RESOLVED OPTICAL GATING MEASUREMENT OF 1.4 THZ BEAT FREQUENCIES FROM DUAL-WAVELENGTH SELF-SEEDED GAIN-SWITCHED LASER-DIODE, Electronics Letters, 34(10), 1998, pp. 988-990
A dual wavelength self-seeded gain-switched laser diode has been const
ructed using two fibre Bragg gratings in an external cavity. The outpu
t pulses have been characterised using the technique of frequency-reso
lved optical gating, and exhibit a 1.4THz intensity modulation and a l
arge negative frequency chirp.
