230 fs, 25 W pulses are obtained from conventional mode-locked AlGaAs laser diodes with highly-reflecting external cavities. Uncoated commercial diodes are used with a region of saturable absorption created by ion implantation. The overall pulse performances are believed to be among the best reported from simple electrically-pumped laser diodes without using additional amplifier sections.
