Abstract

Mode-locked semiconductor laser diodes are excellent for generating, e.g., solitons and blue light by second-harmonic generation in bulk crystals. However, until recently, the output pulse energy has been limited by the low saturation energy (about 1 pJ) of single lateral-mode semiconductor amplifiers. By using flared semiconductor laser-diode amplifiers, the saturation energy, and thereby the output power can be increased by two orders of magnitude [1],[2].
