  • Abstract
    The frequency modulation characteristics of a VPE-transported 1.53 μm wavelength GaInAsP-InP DFB semiconductor diode laser was measured. Below approximately 0.7 mW optical output power per facet, it exhibited a smooth, blue-shifted, frequency modulation response from DC to 2 GHz. In the modulation frequency range of 10 MHz to 100 MHz it exhibited a |ΔfI| of 0.5-1.8 GHz/mA, depending on the biasing level
