Multiwavelength super-structured Bragg grating laser for tunable repetition rate mode-locked operation

Opt Express. 2014 Jul 14;22(14):17050-62. doi: 10.1364/OE.22.017050.

Abstract

A multiwavelength laser based on a super-structured Bragg grating is designed and fabricated on multiquantum well AlGaInAs-InP. This laser exhibits phase locking via mutual injection of the neighboring cavities assisted by four wave mixing. We present optical and electrical characterization of its emission regimes showing a complex dynamic behavior. More specifically, this paper focuses on a pulsed regime with a quasi-continuous tunable repetition rate from 32 GHz to 49 GHz.
