Abstract

In this paper, we present a simple algorithm for extraction of laser rate equation parameters based on a set of simple laboratory measurements. Commercial semiconductor DFB laser (Fujitsu FLD3F7CZ) with central wavelength 1310 nm is used to obtain the P-I and frequency response curves. Simulation results using the extracted parameters are in good agreement with the experimental results in both small and large signal modulation.
