Gb. Venus et al., Q-SWITCHING IN SINGLE-HETEROJUNCTION LASERS AND GENERATION OF ULTRAHIGH-POWER PICOSECOND OPTICAL PULSES, Technical physics letters, 23(2), 1997, pp. 132-133
Q-switching has been obtained for single-heterojunction lasers. The ul
trafast saturable absorber in the laser cavity is created by implantat
ion of high-energy heavy ions. The peak power generated by the lasers
in a 150 mu m stripe width is 380 W with a pulse length of 40 ps. (C)
