Abstract

We study quantum dot mode locked lasers (QD MLL) under optical injection. For the experimental study we use slave lasers two-section monolithic InAs/GaAs QD devices with a repetition rate of about 9.4 GHz, emitting at 1.3 μm. A frequency resolved Mach-Zehnder gating (FRMZG) technique was utilised for the experimental study of the pulse intensity, phase and chirp. For numerical simulations we use a modified delay-differential model. We show experimentally improvement of the laser performance under injection and provide numerical locking ranges obtained with DDEBIFTOOL package.
