Abstract
It is demonstrated that an ultrahigh speed window buried heterostructure GaAlAs laser fabricated on a semi-insulating substrate can be used as a narrowband signal transmitter in the Ku band frequency range (12–20 GHz). The modulation efficiency can be increased over a limited bandwidth by a weak optical feedback. A stronger optical feedback enables one to actively mode lock the laser diode at a very high repetition rate up to 17.5 GHz, producing pulses ~12 ps long.
