A diode-pumped 1.5µm waveguide laser mode-locked at 6.8GHz by a quantum dot SESAM

We report a passively mode-locked, diode-pumped waveguide laser operating in the 1.5µm spectral region using a quantum dot SESAM as the saturable absorber element. A repetition rate of up to 6.8GHz and an average power as high as 30mW is obtained during mode-locked operation. Minimum pulse duration...
