Abstract
We report the demonstration of efficient passive Q-switching in GaAs/AlGaAs and strained layer InGaAs MQW lasers containing a monolithic intracavity electroabsorption loss modulator. Self-pulsation was observed at repetition rates as high as 16 GHz with optical pulse energies as high as 5 pj (pulse width 25 ps FWHM).
