such as output pulse width and spectrum of actively mode-loc-"king semiconductor laser with an external grating cavity are studied in detail. The Optimization process of the parameters of the device influencing the pulse width is given. With sinusoidal microwave modulation
a fully mode-locked pulse train is obtained with the FWHM as short as 8.2ps
repeated frequency 961.06MHz
peak power greater than 150mW and tuning range greater than 10nm.
