Bandwidth-limited picosecond pulse generation in an actively mode-locked GaAs laser with intracavity chirp compensation

Opt Lett. 1987 May 1;12(5):334-6. doi: 10.1364/ol.12.000334.

Abstract

A Gires-Tournois interferometer has been applied for intracavity chirp compensation of an actively mode-locked GaAs laser. Fourier-transform-limited pulses as short as 4.6 psec have been obtained at 790 nm.
