The first report on active modelocking of interferometric Y-lasers in an external cavity are reported. Pulse widths between 20 and 30 ps for 1.3- mu m and 1.55- mu m devices were achieved by modulation of the injection current synchronously to the external cavity roundtrip frequency. A time-bandwidth-product of 0.97 was determined for 1.55- mu m devices.ETX
