Pulse Width Mode locking region and Measured Pulse Widths

Conclusions Recovery times below 5ps have been obtained on InAlGaAs/InP MQWs. Able to generate femtosecond pulses using a 40 GHz modelocked laser. Pulse widths are notably shorter than those generated in P- quaternary MQWs fs (Lorentzian 21 GHz. (K. Merghem, et al., 2008, Optics Express, Vol. 16, No. 14, pp10675.)
