  • Abstract
    The temporal dependence of the frequency shift in a current-modulated single-mode semiconductor laser is measured and compared with calculations based on solutions to the thermal diffusion equation. The effects of carrier density change, thermal diffusion in the semiconductor, and heat sink thermal resistance are identified.
