Mode locking of a ring cavity semiconductor diode laser
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report new results on the generation and characterization of picosecond pulses from a self-mode-locked semiconductor diode laser. The active medium (InGaAs, 830-870 nm) is a semiconductor optical amplifier whose facets are cut at angle and AR coated. The amplifier is inserted in a three-minor ring cavity. Mode locking is purely passive; it takes place for specific alignment conditions. Trains of counterpropagating pulses are produced, with pulse duration varying from 1 .2 to 2 ps. The spectra of the counterpropagatmg pulses do not fully overlap; their central wavelengths differ by a few nm. The pulse repetition rate has been varied from 0.3 to 3 GHz. The pulses have been compressed to less than 500-fs duration with a grating pair. We discuss some of the potential physical mechanisms that could be involved in the dynamics of the mode-locked regime. Hysteresis in the LI curve has been observed. To characterize the pulses, we introduce the idea of a Pulse Quality Factor, where the pulse duration and spectral width are calculated from the second-order moments of the measured intensity autocorrelation and power spectral density.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
