High-Energy Picosecond Pulse Generation by Gain Switching in Asymmetric Waveguide Structure Multiple Quantum Well Lasers

A multiple quantum well laser diode utilizing an asymmetric waveguide structure with a large equivalent spot size of ~3 μm is shown to give high energy (~1 nJ) and short (~100 ps) isolated optical pulses when injected with
