OSTI ID:5770489
Q-switched diode lasers were operated in a continuous-inversion mode of Q-switching at pulse repetition rates of 14 GHz with a measurement system limited 40 ps FWHM pulse width. In continuous-inversion Q switching, the gain in the amplifier section of the device is continuously high while the laser is modulated by an intracavity electro-absorption modulator. The low capacitance of the modulator section of a Q-switched laser makes it attractive for high-speed modulation, especially when integrated with other electronic devices.
