High-speed directly modulated laser for applications beyond 100GbE

Abstract

Recent results are reported for a 1.3-μm InGaAlAs directly modulated laser (DML) with a ridge waveguide structure. We realized a 3-dB-down electrical-to-optical (E/O) response of 34 GHz for a 150-μm DML. Clear eye openings were obtained at 43 Gb/s up to 60°C and at 50 Gb/s at 25°C.
