  • Abstract
    The hybrid integration of an injection laser with a simple avalanche transistor modulator is shown to produce optical peak powers of several tens of watts magnitude and pulse rise times appreciably shorter than 1 ns. In certain circumstances the pulse leading edge assumes the form of a spike having a displayed rise time of 120 ps.
