Abstract
Low-chirp modulation of three-contact distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers is experimentally demonstrated, using a push-pull modulation scheme. When the laser was modulated with a 2.0-Gb/s pseudorandom bit sequence, the -20-dB linewidth was measured to be 0.055 nm after deconvolving the measurement equipment's response. The results are simulated using a large-signal time-domain model that illustrates the mechanisms responsible for the low chirp. The grating structure is shown to have a significant effect on the performance of the device under push-pull modulation.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
