Conclusion CD:50mA 、 60mA&70mA:10:1 、 20:1&30:1 ，

linear norm. probe from 1 to 0.5~0.8 recover time>10ps =>fit well with other theses

CH:50mA 、 60mA&70mA: 10:1 、 20:1 nonlinear increasing ， 30:1 saturated? or cohere

nt artifacts? Norm. probe: dip Relaxation time <1ps =>fit well with other theses

<110 fs nonlinearity can’t be resolved (TPA,FCA,SHB)

Curve fitting function 1987 MIT Ippen. et al h(t)=a0+a1*exp(-t/τ1)+a2*exp(-t/τ2) a0=0.5 、 a1=-1 、 a2=0.5 、 τ1=0.65ps 、 τ2=0.2ps constraints: 1>a0>0 、 a1<0 、 a2>0 where a0:long lasting term ,a1 、 a2:short lasting term =>CH:650 fs Mine:a0=0.7 、 a1=-2.65 、 a2=3 、 τ1=0.68ps 、 τ2=0.

56ps =>CH:680 fs fit quite well!

Chap.6 Conclusion 6.1 Summary 6.2 Future works

6.1 Summary I have successfully built up the

measurement system of gain dynamics. Light source (Verdi+ Mira) measurement:

Pulse-width:110fs :un-chirped Line-width:10nm :transform limited

Sample (SLD830)measurement: highly polarization dependent transparent current is about 25mA gain:25dB at 100mA

Summary-2 Gain dynamics measurement:

femto-second resolving ability tunable power 、 time delay and polarization of pump beam and pr

obe beam expandability of different samples ability to co-operate with the computerized instrument control and

data acquisition system. Experiment data

slow recovering term :time constant is much bigger than 10ps fast recovering term :time constant is about 580fs

Possible corresponding explanation slow recovering term: CD fast recovering term :dominated by CH

6.2 Future works Pulse

above and below band-gap chirped or compressed

Gain dynamics more evidence coherent artifacts
