Influence of Gain Suppression on Static and Dynamic Characteristics of Laser Diodes under Digital Modulation
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents theoretical investigation of the influence of gain suppression on dynamic characteristics of InGaAsP laser diodes under digital modulation. The study is based on numerical solution of the laser rate equations in which the bias current is augmented by a digital signal with norreturn to zero coding. The modulation characteristics include the eye diagram, turn-on jitter and quality factor of the modulated laser signal. Nonlinear gain is found to improve the eye-diagram quality by increasing the quality factor and reducing the turn-on jitter. Influence of gain suppression on frequency chirp induced by the temporal carrier-induced variation of the refraction change at high bit rates is also illustrated.

Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...
متن کاملThe advantage of using a diode laser instead of a Q-switched laser in photoacoustic imaging of tissues
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging of biological tissues using laser diodes instead of conventional Q switched pulsed systems provides an attractive alternative for biomedical applications. However, the relatively low energy of laser diodes operating in the pulsed regime, results in generation of very weak acoustic waves, and low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the detected signals. This problem can be ...
