Q-Switching of Semiconductor Lasers with Picosecond Light Pulses

  • Conference paper
Picosecond Phenomena II

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Chemical Physics ((CHEMICAL,volume 14))

Abstract

Pulses tens of picoseconds in duration have been produced from semiconductor lasers both by injection of short current pulses [1] and by mode-locking [2, 3]. Below we describe a method for producing ultrashort pulses which employs a combination of electrical and optical pumping.
