  • Abstract
    The presence of `kinks¿ in the light/current characteristics of (GaAl)As injection lasers is investigated by applying large amplitude electrical RF modulation. It is suggested that the 20 ps pulses which have been observed may be produced through mechanisms associated with these kinks.
