Verfahren zur Auslegung einer monolithisch integrierten, modengekoppelten Halbleiterlaser-Pulsquelle

DE 102005017677 A1 UPAB: 20061208 NOVELTY - The method involves selecting quantum well layers from two optimization criteria for the performance of semiconductor laser pulse source under the consideration of the influence strength of the optimization criteria on the performance of the laser pulse source. The well layers are determined with the request of a minimization of the saturation performance by a maximization of the saturation energy of an amplifier section. USE - Used for designing a monolithically integrated, mode-coupled semiconductor laser pulse source that is utilized in a communication-engineering system and a measuring system. ADVANTAGE - The method determines the quantum layers with the request of minimization of the saturation performance by the maximization of saturation energy of the amplifier section, thus minimizing the saturableness of the amplification coefficients of the amplifier section, and hence eliminating amplitude noises without affecting the good performance characteristics of the pulse source
