Abstract :
A novel 1.3 μm MQW light-emission-and-detection diode including a bulk detection layer is proposed for use in time-compression-multiplexing transmission systems. In the lasing mode, this diode has a threshold current of 9 mA at 25°C and a maximum output power of >10 mW at 85°C. In the detection mode, the polarisation dependence of its responsivity, as a detection operation, is <0.5 dB and the wavelength dependence of the responsivity is only 1dB at a wavelength 35 nm longer than the lasing wavelength
