Abstract :
In this paper, we will present for the first time a tunable picosecond laser system based on a commercial laser diode array using the actively mode-locking technique. The novel feature is the incorporation of a folded dispersive delay line which served the functions of wavelength tuning and intracavity dispersion compensation, with good sidemode suppression and spatial mode control
