Abstract

The theoretical bases and the experimental results of the dynamic behavior of $1.5-1.6 \\mu$ m GaInAsP/InP dynamic-single-mode (DSM) lasers with distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) are given. A condition for the single-mode operation of a rapidly modulated DBR laser, called a "dynamic-single-mode laser," and the dynamic spectral width were theoretically presented. Experimentally, buried-heterostructure distributed-Bragg-reflector integrated-twin-guide (BH-DBR-ITG) and buried-heterostructure butt-jointed-built-in distributed-Bragg-reflector (BH-BJB-DBR) lasers emitting at the wavelength of $1.5-1.6 \\mu$ m were directly modulated up to 3 GHz, and the stable single-mode operations were obtained in both types of lasers. The dynamic spectral width at the worst modulation condition was measured to be 0.27 nm, which was about $frac{1}{35}$ times smaller than that of conventional lasers.
