Abstract :
We present a novel 1.3-mum laser, a short-cavity distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) laser that enables uncooled, 10-Gb/s operation with low drive currents. The laser consists of a short InGaAlAs multiple-quantum-well active region butt-jointed to an InGaAsP-DBR region. A fabricated laser with a 75-mum active region demonstrated 100 degC, 10-Gb/s operation at a record low drive current of 14-mA peak-to-peak (mAp-p) with an average output power of -3 dBm
