Abstract :
A modified photon injection setup to generate low jitter singlemode laser pulses from a gain-switched Fabry-Perot laser diode at arbitrary repetition rates is presented. The output pulses show sub-picosecond timing jitter and, upon nonlinear compression in comb-like dispersion profiled fibre, pulse widths (FWHM) below 500 fs.
