Abstract

Highly stable, temperature insensitive laser diodes emitting at 0.98 μm have been developed. A low 2.3 mA threshold current was achieved at 25°C, and a high 0.48 W/A slope efficiency was achieved at 100°C by optimising the waveguide structure, cavity length and front mirror reflectance. The power attenuation ratio from 25 to 100°C was as low as -0.8 dB under a 30 mA drive current. The eye-opening ratio was >94% up to 100°C under automatic power control (APC) free 600 Mbit/s modulation and 2.3 mA DC bias
