Abstract

Long cavity (1200 mu m) MQW-DFB-DC-PBH-LDs have been developed. The devices simultaneously showed less than 1 MHz spectral linewidth, lower than 15 kHz FM dip frequency, moderate FM efficiency (250-300 MHz/mA at 100 MHz modulation frequency), as well as 10-GHz FM bandwidth (6 dB down level from the peak), at 30 mW output power condition. Such LDs will be suitable for Gb/s continuous phase frequency shift keying (CPFSK) current optical fiber communication systems.<>
