Pulses shorter than 6 ps, tunable from 1.26 to 1.32 {mu}m, have been generated. The source of these pulses is comprised of a model locked, external cavity 1.3-{mu}m InGaAsP diode laser with grating feedback combined with a compressor which is a grating-pair containing an internal telescope. The dispersion in the compressor can be tuned in both magnitude and sign to optimally compensate the chirp in the model locked external cavity laser at each wavelength.
