Abstract:
For the first time we have successfully demonstrated a novel concept of a passively modelocked vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting semiconductor laser with an integrated saturable absorber. This MIXSEL will be ultimately suitable for cost-effective high-volume wafer-scale fabrication.
