Résumé

We demonstrate passive mode locking of a GaSb-based diode laser emitting at 2.1?μm. The active region of the studied device consists in two 10-nm-thick GaInSbAs/GaAlSbAs quantum wells. Passive mode locking has been achieved in a two-section laser with one of the sections used as a saturable absorber. A microwave signal at 20.6GHz, measured in the electrical circuit of the absorber, corresponds to the fundamental photon round-trip frequency in the laser resonator. The linewidth of this signal as low as ∼10kHz has been observed at certain operating conditions, indicating low phase noise mode-locked operation.
