Self-pulsating laser diode for the generation of multiple RF data channels in hybrid radio/fiber systems
Kaszubowska-Anandarajah, Aleksandra and Barry, Liam P. (2002) Self-pulsating laser diode for the generation of multiple RF data channels in hybrid radio/fiber systems. In: LEOS-02 - The 15th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society, 10-14 Nov 2002. ISBN 0-7803-7500-9 Full text available as: AbstractIn this paper we characterize the self-pulsation in a laser under external injection, and demonstrate how an injection-locked commercial laser may be used in a hybrid radio/fiber system for the distribution of multiple carrier RF data signals. The laser diode used for the experiment is a standard multiple-quantum-well DFB device with a threshold current of 26 mA, a central lasing wavelength of around 1543 nm, and an intrinsic modulation bandwidth of around 8 GHz.
