Bandwidth-limited pulses of 16 ps duration, 1W peak power, and a time-bandwidth product value of ..delta nu delta..t=0.36 are obtained from an actively mode-locked, angled-stripe GaAlAs cw diode laser. A synchronized streak camera measures the pulse durations and allows continuous monitoring and optimization of the mode locking process.
