Title

Intracavity gain and absorption dynamics of hybrid modelocked semiconductor lasers with user of excitonic nonlinearity

Abstract

The intracavity gain dynamics and pulse shaping mechanisms associated with hybrid modelock semiconductor lasers are studied to understand their role in modelocked semiconductor diode lasers. Owing to the long intracavity pulsewidth, self-phase modulation in the gain medium related to gain depletion imposes a parabolic chirp on the optical pulse. The removal of the front edge of the pulse by the saturable absorber contributes to the linearization of the chirp resulting in a pulse that is highly compressible.
