High-Speed Direct-Modulation of InP Microdisk Lasers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate for the first time high-speed direct-modulation of InP microdisk lasers by exploiting longitudinal mode competition. High-speed operation is demonstrated by means of S21 and PRBS modulation. We show open eye diagrams and bit-error rates up to 10 Gb/s.

Whispering-gallery mode microdisk lasers
A new microlaser design based on the high-reflectivity whispering-gallery modes around the edge of a thin semiconductor microdisk is described and initial experimental results are presented. Optical confinement within the thin disk plane results in a microresonator with potential for single-mode, ultralow threshold lasers. Initial experiments use selective etching techniques in the InP/InGaAsP ...
متن کاملDirect-modulated waveguide-coupled microspiral disk lasers with spatially selective injection for on-chip optical interconnects.
We investigate direct-modulated waveguide-coupled microspiral disk lasers for on-chip optical interconnects. Microspiral resonators, with a rotationally asymmetric shape and a waveguide directly gapless coupled to the notch, offer a compact unidirectional-emission on-chip laser source. We employ spatially selective injection by means of a ring-shaped p-contact on top of the microdisk rim region...
متن کاملElectrically pumped InP-based microdisk lasers integrated with a nanophotonic silicon-on-insulator waveguide circuit.
A compact, electrically driven light source integrated on silicon is a key component for large-scale integration of electronic and photonic integrated circuits. Here we demonstrate electrically injected continuous-wave lasing in InP-based microdisk lasers coupled to a sub-micron silicon wire waveguide, fabricated through heterogeneous integration of InP on silicon-on-insulator (SOI). The InP-ba...
متن کاملAsymmetric line broadening in intracavity loss modulated quantum well distributed feedback lasers
We report for the first time high-speed (Gbit s ‘), single mode, digital (on-off) modulation of intracavity loss modulated 1.55 pm InGaAs/InP multiple quantum well distributed feedback lasers. The lasing spectrum, observed to be asymmetrically broadened under high-speed modulation, is shown to result from large carrier density variations which accompany this switching scheme. We also show, for ...
متن کاملDynamic Behavior of Scaled Microdisk Lasers
Room-temperature small-signal intensity-modulation frequency response of InGaAs/InGaAsP multiple quantum well microdisk lasers depends on disk radius. For frequencies up to 2 GHz the measured response of a small radius microdisk laser is closer to an ideal laser compared to larger devices. The dynamic response of larger radius lasers is strongly in¯uenced by the presence of a reservoir of carri...
