Using this method an enhanced—3-dB bandwidth is observed in agreement with the small signal rate equation analysis. A modulation response that drops at high frequencies slower than the conventional direct current modulation response is achieved.

Direct modulation and optical confinement factor modulation of semiconductor lasers

Abstract

A method for modulation of semiconductor lasers is demonstrated. The method is based on the modulation of the optical confinement factor. Using this method an enhanced—3-dB bandwidth is observed in agreement with the small signal rate equation analysis. A modulation response that drops at high frequencies slower than the conventional direct current modulation response is achieved. This supports the theoretical predictions, showing an intrinsic 1/f decay rate for the optical confinement factor modulation scheme versus an intrinsic 1/f² decay for direct modulation.

Effects of transverse mode coupling and optical confinement factor on gallium-nitride based laser diode

We have investigated the transverse mode pattern and the optical field confinement factor of gallium nitride （GaN） laser diodes （LDs） theoretically. For the particular LD structure, composed of approximate 4 μm thick n-GaN substrate layer, the maximum optical confinement factor was found to be corresponding to the 5^th order transverse mode, the so-called lasing mode. Moreover, the value of the maximum confinement factor varies periodically when increasing the n-side GaN layer thickness, which simultaneously changes and increases the oscillation mode order of the GaN LD caused by the effects of mode coupling. The effects of the thickness and the average composition of Al in the AlGaN/GaN superlat.tice on the optical confinement factor are also presented. Finally, the mode coupling and optimization of the layers in the GaN-based LD are discussed.     

Intensity correlation time of a single-mode laser driven by two coloured noises with coloured cross-correlation with direct signal modulation

In this paper, the intensity correlation time T is studied for the gain-noise model of a single-mode laser driven by coloured pump noise and coloured quantum noise with coloured cross-correlation with a direct signal modulation. By using the linear approximation method, it is found that when the pump noise is modulated directly by a signal, the effects of the cross-correlation between the pump noise and the quantum noise will disappear. In addition, there exists a maximum (i.e. resonance) in the curve of the intensity correlation time $T$ versus the pump noise self-correlation time \tau¹. Furthermore, when \tau¹\le\tau², the intensity correlation time T increases monotonically with the increase of $D$ and decreases monotonically with the increase of Q, but when \tau¹>\tau², the intensity correlation time T increases monotonically with the increase of Q and decreases monotonically with the increase of D.

A full-duplex radio-over-fiber system using direct modulation laser to generate optical millimeter-wave and wavelength reuse for uplink connection

In this paper, we present a full-duplex radio-over-fiber system incorporating both optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) generation and wavelength reuse for uplink connection. The optical double sidebands (DSB) signal is generated by using only one inexpensive broadband direct modulation laser (DML), to which a mixing RF signal is applied. An optical interleaver is then used to separate the first-order optical sidebands from the optical carrier of optical DSB signal. The separated first-order optical sidebands are beat to generate mm-wave signal that has double the frequency of the RF drive signal, while the separated optical carrier is reused as light source to remodulate uplink signal. Both detailed theoretical analysis and experiments to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed system are presented. Experiment result shows that the bidirectional 2.5 Gb/s data can be successfully transmitted over 40 km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) with less than 2 dB power penalty.     

Directionality and mode structure of radiation of semiconductor lasers with electron-beam pumping

We present results of investigations of the directionality diagram and mode structure of radiation of semiconductor lasers with electron pumping that have microrelief reflectors instead of a blind mirror and output mirrors, whose coefficient of reflection depends on the wavelength and the angle of light propagation. Application of such mirrors allows one to narrow the spectrum of output radiation of the lasers, simultaneously reducing the threshold and increasing the output power. The discovered multilobe structure of the directionality diagrams is explained on the basis of geometrical optics. The possibility of controlling the directionality of radiation depending on the spectral and angular characteristics of the output mirror is shown.
