Abstract :
The authors examined experimentally and theoretically the frequency stability and tunability of passively modelocked monolithic-cavity semiconductor lasers operating at cryogenic temperatures. Compared with their characteristics at room temperature, these lasers show an increase in the parameter range for modelocking to occur, as well as an order-of-magnitude improvement in the tuning range when operated at 77 K
