A Q-Switching cleaved-coupled-cavity laser with an intergrated intra-cavity modulator.
01 January 1984
We describe fabrication and performance of a Q-switching cleaved- coupled-cavity laser with an integrated intra-cavity modulator. The pulse repetition frequency of this 3-section device was tunable between 320 and 450 MHz with an external microwave injected signal, the modulation depth of the pulsations was 80-100% with a nearly single-longitudinal-mode output spectrum, and the Q-switched light pulses were modulated by a pseudo- random PCM signal at 322 Mb/s.
