Abstract :
High-speed single-frequency transmitters at 980 nm are reported with open eye diagrams up to 40 Gbit/s and error-free operation up to 35 Gbit/s. The transmitters consist of a short-cavity, distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser with an integrated electro absorption modulator fabricated using a quantum well intermixing processing platform. This represents the fastest bit-rate operation to date from a single transmitter in the 830-1100 nm datacom wavelength range.
