Popis: Summary form only given. Mode-locked semiconductor diode lasers are compact and simple sources of short optical pulses that are well suited for a number of applications. In this paper we present our experimental results showing that picosecond pulses have been reliably generated with a semiconductor diode laser operated with a ring cavity. An angle etched travelling-wave amplifier (InGaAs) designed to be operated at 860 nm was used as the active medium. The mode-locked operation was purely passive and it produced an average power of 3 mW per beam.
