Abstract

The present letter reports a modulation scheme that takes advantage of the unique characteristics of a two laterally coupled laser diode (also known as twin stripe array) to overcome the limit on the modulation imposed by the laser’s relaxation oscillation frequency. Through the use of the rate equation description of the device we uncover the device dynamics behind the modulation scheme generating 35 ps (full width at half maximum) laser pulses at 8 Gb/s modulation rate. Our scheme relies on the fast dynamics of the phase difference, controlled by means of the current injection on each stripe.
