  • Abstract
    An analysis of the interaction of ultrasonic waves with the junction-laser modes is performed, using first-order perturbation theory. It demonstrates that in the presence of sound waves, each laser mode is frequency-modulated with negligible harmonic distortion or mode mixing. It is also shown that bandwidths of several GHz, with high-modulation index are possible.
