Abstract
A multiple-quantum-well distributed-feedback (MQW-DFB) laser with narrow linewidth and low frequency chirp at low output power may experience linewidth rebroadening at high output power. the rebroadening is mostly due to a large carrier-induced change of refractive index, which also causes a large frequency modulation response for the MQW-DFB lasers. Using a 1.55- mu m MQW-DFB laser, a 622-Mb/s amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) transmission experiment employing 200-km of fiber and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier has been demonstrated having a dispersion power penalty less than 9.8 dB. The receiver sensitivities at BER=10/sup -9/ of the ASK system are -34.5 dBm and -42.5 dBm for 1.7-Gb/s and 622-Mb/s modulation, respectively. A 622-Mb/s incoherent frequency-shift-keying (FSK) transmission experiment using the same laser has also achieved a receiver sensitivity of -42.5 dBm. >
