Abstract

We have proved that short cavity length and large coupling coefficient structure can increase the relaxation oscillation frequency of directly modulated 1.3mm DFB-LDs for 10Gb/s operation. The grating with large coupling coefficient can be made of high refractive index InGaAsP material (=narrow band gap energy material), which has to be fabricated in the n-type InP cladding layer to prevent large hole and electron accumulation in the grating layer. By using this grating, 1.3mm AlGaInAs quarter lambda phase shifted DFB-LDs successfully revealed excellent eye diagrams with over 10% margin for OC-192 mask at the temperature range of 25-95 deg.C. Furthermore, we newly propose multi-phase shifted gating to 10Gb/s quarter lambda phase-shifted DFB-LDs to suppress the deterioration of eye diagrams due to non-uniform longitudinal distribution of light intensity and carrier density.
