Abstract :
The intermodulation-free dynamic range of InGaAs-InP gain-lever lasers is calculated for the first time. These calculations demonstrate the existence of a tradeoff between reduced link loss and noise figure on the one hand, and reduced intermodulation and increased intermodulation-free dynamic range on the other.
