Abstract :
The performance of two-section, passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers is theoretically analyzed for different cavity designs. Contrary to the intuition, placing the saturable absorber section close to an anti-reflection coated facet leads to a substantial increase in output power, reduces the jitter and broadens the region of stable operation.
