We report the generation of extremely short pulses using a superluminescent diode with a monolithically integrated absorber in an external cavity coupled to an additional empty cavity. The pulses obtained have an autocorrelation width of 1.8–2.6 ps without pulse compression. After pulse compression external to the coupled cavity, the pulse width is further reduced to as short as approximately 190 fs. The short pulses are obtained by careful adjustment of the length of the auxiliary cavity to match that of the main cavity.
