  • Abstract
    In this letter, the authors propose a simple source based on mode-locked semiconductor lasers using linearly chirped fiber Bragg gratings external cavities. Using this technique, transform-limited pulses, compatible with 10-Gb/s applications, are generated. Effects of Bragg grating´s parameters on the source performances are also experimentally investigated
