100-Gb/s Electro-Absorptive Duobinary Modulation of an InP-on-Si DFB Laser

Electro-absorptive properties of interdiffused InGaAsP/InP quantum wells

28 Gb/s direct modulation heterogeneously integrated C-band InP/SOI DFB laser.

We demonstrate direct modulation of a heterogeneously integrated C-band DFB laser on SOI at 28 Gb/s with a 2 dB extinction ratio. This is the highest direct modulation bitrate so far reported for a membrane laser coupled to an SOI waveguide. The laser operates single mode with 6 mW output power at 100 mA bias current. The 3 dB modulation bandwidth is 15 GHz. Transmission experiments using a 2 k...

Femtosecond Pulsed Laser Deposition of Indium on Si (100)

Deposition of indium on Si(100) substrates is performed under ultrahigh vacuum with an amplified Ti:sapphire laser (130 fs) at wavelength of 800 nm and laser fluence of 0.5 J/cm. Indium films are grown at room temperature and at higher substrate temperatures with a deposition rate of ~ 0.05 ML/pulse. Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is used during the deposition to study the ...

Microwave generation in an electro-absorption modulator integrated with a DFB laser subject to optical injection.

This paper presents a new technique to generate microwave signal using an electro-absorption modulator (EAM) integrated with a distributed feedback (DFB) laser subject to optical injection. Experiments show that the frequency of the generated microwave can be tuned by changing the wavelength of the external laser or adjusting the bias voltage of the EAM. The frequency response of the EAM is stu...

Investigation of InGaAsP/InP DFB and FP Laser Diodes Noise Characteristic

In the paper, there are presented comprehensive noise characteristics (electrical and optical noise and correlation between electrical and optical fluctuations) investigations that were performed with the aim to clear up the reasons of short lifetime of laser diode (LD) and to find out LD design and fabrication features that can increase laser diode quality. Groups of different quality InGaAsP ...
