The reasoning that led to the first successful mode-locking of continuous wave (c.w.) semiconductor laser diodes is described. The theory of forced mode-locking, as modified for semiconductor laser diodes in an external resonator, is outlined. Experiments on GaAlAs and InGaAsP diodes are summarized. The shortest pulses to date are 16 ps f.w.h.m. Limitations on pulse width are discussed and ways of producing shorter pulses are suggested.

Laser Dynamics

With the advent of integrated photonics, a crucial role is played by semiconductor diode lasers (SDLs) as coherent light sources. Old paradigms of semiconductor laser dynamics, like optical injection, external feedback and the coupling of lasers, regained relevance when SDLs were integrated on photonic chips. This Special Issue presents a collection of seven invited feature papers and 11 contributed papers reporting on recent advances in semiconductor laser dynamics.
