Direct intensity modulation in sampled-grating DBR lasers
2002
In this letter, we present new experimental results obtained for direct intensity modulation of widely tunable sampled-grating distributed Bragg-reflector (SGDBR) lasers. These results are of significance to SGDBR applications in wavelength-division-multiplexing systems. The devices described operate in the C-band (wavelength range 1525-1565 nm). A 6-GHz small-signal modulation bandwidth and >10-dB signal extinction ratio under large-signal operation were obtained. We have also recorded an undistorted eye pattern for a nonreturn-to-zero random signal 2/sup 31/-1 word length at 2.5-Gb/s bit rate during transmission over 75-km of standard single-mode fiber.
