| Abstract: | The dynamic pulse response of a travelling-wave semiconductor laser amplifier has been investigated. Peak output powers greater than 100 mW, with a fibre-to-fibre gain of 10 dB, have been observed for narrow pulses (<50ps FWHM) at low repetition rates. The dynamic bandwidth of the amplifier has been shown to be at least 50 GHz. |
