Abstract
Direct modulation properties of BIG-DBR-DSM lasers were investigated by measuring both the time-averaged and the time-resolved spectra. A high side-mode-suppression ratio of more than 30 dB was obtained from time-averaged measurements with the modulation frequency in the range of 250 MHz-2 GHz. The dynamic wavelength shift at - 3 dB level obtained from both time-averaged and time-resolved measurements was less than 2 Å. Time-resolved measurements showing an oscillatory behavior of the dynamic wavelength shift with both red and blue shifts were also observed. Calculations based on a numerical solution of the rate equations, which agreed quantitatively with the measurement, indicate a line width enhancement factor estimated to lie between 3.5 and 5.5.
