Mode-locked silicon evanescent lasers.
TLDR
Electrically pumped lasers on silicon that produce pulses at repetition rates up to 40 GHz could enable new silicon based integrated technologies, such as optical time division multiplexing (OTDM), wavelength division multipleXing (WDM), and optical code division multiple access (OCDMA).Abstract:
We demonstrate electrically pumped lasers on silicon that produce pulses at repetition rates up to 40 GHz. The mode locked lasers generate 4 ps pulses with low jitter and extinction ratios above 18 dB, making them suitable for data and telecommunication transmitters and for clock generation and distribution. Results of both passive and hybrid mode locking are discussed. This type of device could enable new silicon based integrated technologies, such as optical time division multiplexing (OTDM), wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), and optical code division multiple access (OCDMA).read more
