ABSTRACT:
A mode-locked semiconductor laser includes a gain region formed from a semiconductor gain material of two or three dimensional carrier confinement structure having a size on the order of a thermal de-Broglie wavelength, the size of the semiconductor of the carrier confinement structure being controlled such that the gain spectrum has discrete peaks at a frequency period which is an integer power of the reciprocal of the round-trip time of light in the optical resonator.
