            Abstract : 
The performance of a gigahit pulse-code modulation fiber system has been investigated as a function of laser temperature. The bit error rate shows an improvement for temperature in the range of 

 A tradeoff seems possible between relaxation oscillation, rise time, and signal-to-noise ratio.
