Abstract
We first demonstrate a self-pulsation phenomenon in a semiconductor ring la ser (SRL). Not only self-mode-locked optical pulse but self-Q-switched opti cal pulse can be observed in a SRL. Furthermore, experimental results show that the repetition period of the Q-switched optical pulse train can be con trolled by the injection current to a SRL.
