چکیده
We report on the experimental results obtained for direct intensity modulation of widely tunable sampled-grating distributed Bragg-reflector (SGDBR) lasers. These devices operate in the C-band (1525 – 1562 nm range) and are directly modulated with analog and digital signals. The results obtained show a 6-GHz small-signal bandwidth, and an undistorted EyePattern for a NRZ signal modulation with 2-1 at 2.5 Gb/s after transmission over a 75-km of S-M ordinary fiber. © 2002 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (140.3600) Lasers, tunable

متن کاملWidely Tunable Monolithic Mid-Infrared Quantum Cascade Lasers Using Super-Structure Grating Reflectors
A monolithic, three-section, and widely tunable mid-infrared (mid-IR) quantum cascade laser (QCL) is demonstrated. This electrically tuned laser consists of a gain section placed between two super structure grating (SSG) distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs). By varying the injection currents to the two grating sections of this device, its emission wavelength can be tuned from 4.58 μm to 4.77 μm ...
