Abstract:
Quantum nanostructure-based mode-locked semiconductor lasers have attracted much attention in recent years due to their potential applications in various ?elds, including optical sampling, frequency comb generation, and telecommunications. A signi?cant work has been reported in the area of mode-locked semiconductor lasers. However, many open problems still exist and need to be addressed in depth, including stabilization of semiconductor mode-locked lasers. Better timing stability is essential to enhance the performance and broaden the applications of semiconductor mode-locked lasers.In this presentation, a series of experimental studies will be presented to enhance the stabilization of mode-locked quantum-dash lasers emitting at ~ 1.55 μm and operating at a 21 GHz repetition rate.
