Lvt. Nguyen et al., SPECTRAL STUDY OF A 1.55 MU-M MULTIMODE FP SEMICONDUCTOR-LASER USING THE TRANSMISSION-LINE LASER MODEL, Optical and quantum electronics, 27(7), 1995, pp. 663-678
Transmission-line laser modelling is a time-domain technique suitable
for simulating large-signal dynamics and complex phenomena in semicond
uctor lasers. We show that the transmission-line laser model (TLLM) is
capable of predicting optical spectra in excellent agreement with the
measured spectra of a commercially available 1.55 mu m Fabry-Perot (F
P) laser, providing that scattering centres are introduced to simulate
the effect of discrete scattering in or near the active region. The s
ame model is also able to accurately predict the light-current curve,
the pulse-modulation response and the relative-intensity-noise spectra
of the laser. Thus, the TLLM can be applied to design and optimize sh
ort-haul optical communication systems using these commercial FP laser
s.
