The reasoning that led to the first successful mode-locking of continuous wave (c.w.) semiconductor laser diodes is described. The theory of forced mode-locking, as modified for semiconductor laser diodes in an external resonator, is outlined. Experiments on GaAlAs and InGaAsP diodes are summarized. The shortest pulses to date are 16 ps f.w.h.m. Limitations on pulse width are discussed and ways of producing shorter pulses are suggested.

The continuous-wave (CW) operation of InGaN multi-quantum-well-structure laser diodes (LDs) was demonstrated at room temperature (RT) with a lifetime of 35 hours. The threshold current and the voltage of the LDs were 80 mA and 5.5 V, respectively. The threshold current density was 3.6 kA/cm2. When the temperature of the LDs was varied, large mode hopping of the emission wavelength was observed. The carrier lifetime and the threshold carrier density were estimated to be 2-10 ns and 1-2 × 1020/cm3, respectively. From the measurements of gain spectra and an external differential quantum efficiency dependence on the cavity length, the differential gain coefficient, the transparent carrier density, threshold gain and internal loss were estimated to be 5.8×10−17 cm2, 9.3×1019 cm−3, 5200 cm−1 and 43 cm−1, respectively.
