Improvement of modulation bandwidth in electroabsorption-modulated laser by utilizing the resonance property in bonding wire.

We present and demonstrate a simple and cost-effective technique for improving the modulation bandwidth of electroabsorption-modulated laser (EML). This technique utilizes the RF resonance caused by the EML chip (i.e.

The effect of gain medium length on dynamic mode stability in semiconductor lasers with a long intra-cavity filter.

We investigate theoretically and experimentally the effect of the physical length of gain medium on dynamic mode stability in semiconductor lasers with an intra-cavity filter. In simulation, two types of analysis models were used to examine the lasing properties and to analyze the dynamic mode stability of the external-cavity system, respectively. In experiment, two different kinds of the structures were fabricated and their spectra were analyzed.

200 GHz-spacing 8-channel multi-wavelength lasers for WDM-PON optical line terminal sources.

We have fabricated modules of 8-channel multi-wavelength lasers (MWLs) with a wavelength separation of 200 GHz for the wavelength division multiplexed-passive optical network (WDM-PON) optical line terminal sources. The variation in the output power is minimized by inserting silicone between the superluminescent diode (SLD) and the silica waveguide. The wavelength shift of each channel is less than 0.
