It is experimentally demonstrated that the tiny reflection feedback can lead the optically pumped semiconductor laser (OPSL) to be operated in a self-mod-locked state with a pulse train of bright-dark pulse pairs. A theoretical model based on the multiple reflections in a phase-locked multi-longitudinal-mode laser is developed to confirm the formation of bright-dark pulse pairs. The present finding can offer an important insight into the temporal dynamics in mode-locked OPSLs.
