Abstract

We present the modeling on high-speed modulation of semiconductor lasers beyond 50 GHz over a frequency band of 2 GHz by using strong optical feedback (OFB). This ultra high modulation frequency is achieved by adjusting the external-cavity resonance frequency close to the modulation frequency and optimizing strong OFB conditions to achieve stable operation. We show that this optimized strong OFB results in about 20 dB improvement in the link gain of a 55.8 GHz radio over fiber (RoF) link. We also discuss the influence of environmental variations on the simulated modulation characteristics.
