Tg. Kim et al., First demonstration of the gain switching characteristics of an AlGaAs-GaAsV-grooved quantum wire laser, SOL ST ELEC, 43(11), 1999, pp. 2093-2096
We report for the first time the generation of short optical pulses with ox
ide-isolated stripe? V-grooved AlGaAs-GaAs quantum wire diode lasers. The s
hortest pulse width of 21 ps is currently achieved for a 350 mu m long unco
ated device by a streak camera, with electrical pulses of 350 ps wide and 1
5 V high. The spectral characteristics of the gain switched QWR laser are a
lso presented. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
