Abstract

We present traveling wave numerical simulations of passively mode-locked diode lasers that incorporate chirp compensation monolithically using a Fabry-Perot interferometer, which provides a negative group delay. Numerical results show pulse compression of up to 65%. Time-frequency domain study of the pulses reveal a significant reduction in chirp across the pulse. Limitations of this simple linear chirp compensation scheme are examined. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
