Abstract

Summary form only given. In summary a novel scheme for the generation of dual-wavelength picosecond optical laser diode pulse train was demonstrated. Emission of additional wavelengths was expected by further increase of dispersion in the external cavity. This work will have potential applications in high-speed WDM communication sytems.
