While previous studies focused separately on either laser dynamics or fiber effects, this work provides a comprehensive investigation of their combined impact on system performance. Using theoretical modeling supported by advanced simulations at the standard 1.55 μm wavelength, we examined laser operation across a wide modulation range, from weak modulation that minimally perturbs the dynamics to deep modulation that induces strong nonlinear behavior. The results reveal four distinct operating regimes: sinusoidal signals, periodic signals, periodic pulses, and period-doubled signals at high modulation depths. The bias current plays a crucial role; near-threshold operation significantly enhances distortion due to stronger nonlinearities, whereas operation well above threshold reduces distortion levels. Propagation through the fiber introduces additional changes to the distortion characteristics. While attenuation uniformly decreases signal power, chromatic dispersion introduces a significant dependence on link length. Notably, second-order harmonic distortion is minimized at approximately 5 km fiber length, whereas third-order distortion is reduced for shorter links (1–3 km). These findings translate into a set of design rules for analog optical links: stable, low-distortion operation requires a DC bias of at least twice the threshold current, a modulation depth exceeding 0.3, and a fiber length close to the dispersion-induced optimum (≈5 km for 2HD, ≈3 km for 3HD). Under the cubic-nonlinearity expansion, the reported single-tone 3HD maps onto the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3 ≈ 3HD + 9.54 dB) that governs the spurious-free dynamic range of multichannel analog links (SFDR), so that the present results carry over to broadband cable-TV (CATV), radio-over-fiber (RoF) networks, and 5G analog-fronthaul applications.</p>","PeriodicalId":732,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Wave Phenomena","volume":"34 5","pages":"402 - 418"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149367337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
