摘要：

We propose a technique for achieving mode-locking at very high repetition rates more than terahertz with high output power using a distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) laser, including an intracavity saturable absorber. This method is based on harmonic passive mode-locking at high gain levels and the selectivity of harmonic numbers related to the spectrum-filtering property of the intracavity Bragg reflector. Transform-limited pulses at repetition rates from 500 GHz to 1.54 THz were generated with an output power exceeding 15 mW. We studied stability of harmonic pulses by using conventional self-consistent mode-locking equations. We also discuss the effect of the spectrum-filtering properties of the intracavity Bragg reflector to the characteristics of mode-locked pulses.
