Abstract
The fabrication and performance of a colliding pulse-mode locked laser with an intracavity saturable absorber is described. The laser has a threshold current of 65 mA and differential efficiency of 0.04 mW/mA when coupled int o a single-mode fiber. Mode-locked pulses with similar to 1 pS pulse width at similar to 10 GHz has been obtained.
