H. Yamada et al., 1-GBIT S BIAS-FREE OPERATION OF 1.3-MU-M STRAINED MQW-LDS IN -40-DEGREES-C TO +85-DEGREES-C TEMPERATURE-RANGE/, Electronics Letters, 31(8), 1995, pp. 638-639
Bias-free 1.3 mu m laser diodes (LDs) have been developed for gigabit/
s transmission without temperature control. Power variation as low as
2dB between -20 degrees C +85 degrees C under 30mA driving current has
been attained by introducing strained multiple quatum well (MQW) and
short cavity configurations. Wide eye-opening has been realised under
1 Gbit/s zero-bias modulation in the temperature range -40 to +85 degr
ees C.
