Abstract
Actively mode-locked 26 ps optical pulses are generated from a gain-guided, 10-stripe, phased laser GaAs diode array with an external cavity consisting of two cylindrical lenses and a corner reflector. To our knowledge, this is the shortest pulse width yet demonstrated from a mode-locked phased laser diode array. The detuning bandwidth of the mode-locking is measured as 2.5 MHz.
