Picosecond optical pulse generation at gigahertz rates by direct modulation of a semiconductor laserWe report the generation of picosecond pulses by the direct modulation of a buried heterostructure GaAlAs diode laser. Pulse width of 28 ps is achieved at a repetition frequency of 2.5 GHz. Pulse width dependence on the experimental parameters is described.
