Abstract

We demonstrate spectral narrowing with broadband tuning from a picosecond self-injection-seeded gain-switched diode laser. A narrowband spectral output was continuously tunable over a range of 44 nm from 1.538 to 1.582 mum. We also observe a gain-switched hybrid-operation regime with elements of mode-locking. Our numerical simulations exhibit good agreement with the experimental results. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
