Optical ASK and FSK Modulation By Using Quantum Well Transistor Lasers
Authors
Abstract:
In this paper, transistor lasers (TLs) are used as an optical modulator for generation of ASK(Amplitude Shift Keying) and FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) optical signals. Our analysis is based on continuity equation, rate equations, and the theory of discontinuity of quasi-fermi level at the abrupt junction. Our simulation results indicate that, the specification of ASK and FSK optical signals, are affected by dynamical behavior of TL. Also our simulation results indicate that, the collector-emitter voltage amplitude should be small enough that the nonlinear properties of TLs do not destroy the modulated optical signals.

We present theory and experiment for high-speed optical injection in the absorption region of a quantum-well laser and compare the results with those of the electrical injection in cluding carrier transport effect. We show that the main difference between the two responses is the low-frequency roll-off. By using both injection methods, we obtain more accurate and consistent measurements of man...
