Abstract :
A simple circuit with a Schottky-barrier-gate Gunn device is presented, which works as a pulse regenerator and modulator for laser diodes. Modulation depth and bias voltages of both Gunn device and laser are separately adjustable, allowing quick adaption for different laser diodes. The circuit was tested with a p.c.m. word at 1.5 Gbit/s.
