Abstract :
An analytical expression for the turn-on delay probability density function (pdf) of single-mode lasers biased below threshold is derived, which is in good agreement with results based on computer simulations and measurements. It is shown, that the pdf obtained only depends on the on-state yielding simple requirements for the transmitter in order to achieve a given BER. The results are of particular interest for designing optical interconnects, where zero-biased lasers are used.
