Passively mode-locked semiconductor quantum dot on silicon laser with 400 Hz RF line width

Journal Article Auth, Dominik ; Liu, Songtao ; Norman, Justin ; ... - Optics Express

Mode-locked InAs/InGaAs quantum dot lasers emitting optical frequency combs centered at 1310 nm are promising sources for high-speed and high-capacity communication applications. We report on the stable optical pulse train generation by a monolithic passively mode-locked edge-emitting two-section quantum dot laser based on a five-stack InAs/InGaAs dots-in-a-well structure directly grown on an on-axis (001) silicon substrate by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. Optical pulses as short as 1.7 ps at a pulse repetition rate or inter-mode beat frequency of 9.4 GHz are obtained. A minimum pulse-to-pulse timing jitter of 9 fs, corresponding to a repetition rate line width of 400 Hz,more »« less

Single-photon emission at a rate of 143 MHz from a deterministic quantum-dot microlens triggered by a mode-locked vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser

Journal Article Schlehahn, A. ; Gschrey, M. ; Schnauber, P. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

We report on the realization of a quantum dot (QD) based single-photon source with a record-high single-photon emission rate. The quantum light source consists of an InGaAs QD which is deterministically integrated within a monolithic microlens with a distributed Bragg reflector as back-side mirror, which is triggered using the frequency-doubled emission of a mode-locked vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser (ML-VECSEL). The utilized compact and stable laser system allows us to excite the single-QD microlens at a wavelength of 508 nm with a pulse repetition rate close to 500 MHz at a pulse width of 4.2 ps. Probing the photon statistics of the emission frommore »« less

Low-frequency self-pulsing in single-section quantum-dot laser diodes and its relation to optothermal pulsations

Journal Article Tierno, A. ; Radwell, N. ; Ackemann, T. - Physical Review. A

Self-sustained pulsations in the output of an InAs quantum dot laser diode in the MHz range are reported. The characteristics (shape, range, and frequency) are presented for the free-running laser and when optical feedback in the Littrow configuration is applied. Bistability in the light-current characteristics is observed for operating wavelengths smaller than the gain peak, but it is not present for wavelengths above the gain peak and for the free-running laser, except at elevated temperatures. The temporal evolution of the envelopes of the optical spectra is very different for operation below, around, and above the gain peak, which might bemore »« less

Phase locking of a multimode to a single-mode He--Ne laser

Journal Article SooHoo, J ; Hayes, C L - Opt. Lett.; (United States)

Two independent He--Ne lasers operating at 0.6328 ..mu..m were phase locked to a very high degree of coherence using feedback control. One of these lasers was single mode and the other multimode. The results suggest that the present technique can be used to generate high-power, coherent light pulses from an array of He--Ne lasers.

Low repetition rate and broad frequency tuning from a grating-coupled passively mode-locked quantum dot laser

Journal Article Cheng, H. C., E-mail: u890851@alumni.nthu.edu.tw ; Wu, Q. Y. ; Pan, C. H. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

Passively mode-locked quantum dot lasers with a grating-coupled external cavity arrangement are investigated. A broad repetition-rate tuning range of fundamental mode-locking from 2 GHz to a record-low frequency of 79.3 MHz is achieved with selecting the wavelength at 1.28 μm. A narrow RF linewidth of ∼25 Hz and an intrinsic linewidth as low as 0.15 Hz are also obtained.
