Abstract

In this study modulation bandwidth of GaInAsP/InP laser has been analyzed. Distributed Reflector (DR) laser consisting of a DFB (distributed feedback) laser with high reflection DBR( distributed Bragg reflector) at the rear end is studied by considering wirelike active region. Highest modulation bandwidth of 16 GHz has been realized theoretically. Maximum bandwidth is observed in the DR laser with Double Quantum wire stack, 180μm cavity length and 120nm wire width. The proposed structure also provides good static characteristics such as threshold current of 0.53mA and differential quantum efficiency of about 49.5%.
