Abstract
Investigations of the dynamics of the far-infrared p-Ge laser emission reveal strong periodic soliton-like intensity spikes with less than 1 00 ps duration. We interpret these spikes as self-mode-locking of p-Ge laser modes. The effect becomes more pronounced when a GaAs/AlGaAs/In GaAs quantum well structure on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate is ins erted into the laser cavity. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
