Abstract

Measurement of the Henry factor over large optical bandwidth is carried out in a single step without any filtering, using a technique based on the sinusoidal phase modulation method. This fast technique was successfully applied to a directly modulated Fabry Perot laser to obtain simultaneously the linewidth enhancement factor (LEF) of 14 longitudinal modes. It is also well suited for electro-absorption modulators (EAM) for which the α-factor is determined over 15 nm optical bandwidth. A very good agreement is found with the well established fiber transfer function method.
