Figures & Tables
Fig. 2. (a) Schematic of the setup used to test the obtained bandgap shift and (b) band edge comparison between nonintermixed and intermixed cases for 2 μm wide waveguides.
Fig. 3. Comparison between pulses with FWHM of (a) 1.4 ps and (b) 2.7 ps for a SMLL whose blue-detuned SA is 7% of the total cavity length.
Fig. 4. Color maps show the FWHM of the IAC pulses emitted by the SMLLs with intermixed SAs for absorbers whose length is (left) 1% of the cavity length and (right) 2%.
Fig. 5. Color maps show the areas where the FWHM of the IAC pulses is lower than 2.5 ps for (a) one SMLL with nonintermixed 7% SA and (b) a device with a blue-detuned 7% SA; (c) and (d) show an enlarged section of the maps for currents between 250 and 350 mA.
