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.
