Abstract :
This paper describes wide-band electrooptic modulation of a short-cavity distributed Bragg reflector laser. Efficient amplitude modulation, in both small and large signal regimes, is obtained by modulation of the center Bragg reflector wavelength via electrooptic tuning. The role of the refractive index dynamics in determining the characteristics of a diode laser employing wavelength dependent feedback is also addressed
