Passive mode locking of a semiconductor diode laser
Yaron Silberberg,P. W. Smith,D. J. Eilenberger,David A. B. Miller,Arthur C. Gossard,W. Wiegmann +5 more
TL;DR: By using a GaAs/GaAIAs multiple-quantum-well sample as a saturable absorber in an external resonator, it is shown that pulses as short as 1.6 psec are observed, the shortest pulses ever observed to the authors' knowledge from a mode-locked diode laser in a regulator pulse train.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear Optical Properties Of GaAs/GaAlAs Multiple Quantum Well Material: Phenomena And Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the properties of GaAs/AIGaAs quantum well structures (QWS) at room temperature and describe the mechanisms of saturation of excitonic absorption and refraction.

Integrated all-optical switching devices
Yaron Silberberg,P. W. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar single-mode waveguide formed on or in a major surface of a supporting substrate is described, where the waveguide comprises a nonlinear medium having an intensity-dependent index of refraction.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 5 Nonlinear Optical Properties of Multiple Quantum Well Structures for Optical Signal Processing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the nonlinear optical properties of GaAs/AlCaAs multiple quantum well structures (MQWS) with a particular emphasis on room-temperature effects.
Book ChapterDOI
Fast Multiple Quantum Well Absorber for Mode Locking of Semiconductor Lasers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a passive mode locking of a semiconductor diode laser using GaAs/GaAlAs multiple quantum well (MQW) material as a saturable absorber.
