Integrated 2 GHz femtosecond laser based on a planar Er-doped lightwave circuit

An integrated passively mode-locked 2-GHz waveguide laser generating 285-fs pulses is demonstrated. It is based on a 500-MHz repetition rate laser integrated together with a pulse interleaver on a 45×50 mm silica waveguide chip.
