Abstract

High-peak-power picosecond pulses with ultralow timing jitter of 65 fs (50–500 Hz) have been generated by Q-switching multi-quantum-well (MQW) distributed feedback (DFB) and Fabry-Perot (FP) multicontact lasers. Peak pulse powers of 80 mW have been measured for pulses having durations of 26 ps and repetition rates of 1.25 GHz.
