Abstract
The present invention has applications in high-bandwidth communications systems and other applications that utilize modulated optical energy. In one aspect of the invention, a short cavity diode-pumped laser generates optical energy that may be modulated over a wide range of frequencies. In one embodiment, the short cavity diode-pumped laser may be modulated at rates up to 15 GHz. The short cavity diode-pumped laser may include a laser diode modulator and a laser coupled to the laser diode modulator having a cavity lifetime of less than about 100 picoseconds.
