Abstract
.A simple robust self-seeded laser diode scheme for generating electri cal wavelength-tunable picosecond pulses at a FY;ed repetition rate is presented. Wavelength tuning of transform-limited pulses with a pulse width of similar to 10ps and a sidemode suppression ratio of 15dB over all, and 28dB at best, was obtained among six cavity modes correspondi ng to a tuning range of 7.6nm. Very stable operation was observed at e ach wavelength because there was a relatively large locking range for each wavelength.
