Abstract

Laser mode locking Optical switches Quantum cascade lasers Ultrafast optics
We demonstrate fast switching between picosecond and femtosecond pulse durations from a Cr 4+ :forsterite laser, using an electrically-contacted GaInNAs SESAM whose absorption is controlled via the quantum confined Stark effect.
