Abstract
A shift in the emission wavelength of s.h. GaAs lasers has been observed during individual pulses. In conjunction with material dispersion, this leads to pulse compression after transmission through an optical fibre. The use of this device as a source in bandwidth measurements readily leads to erroneous conclusions when results are analysed.
