Abstract
A method for modulation of semiconductor lasers based on the modulatio n of the optical confinement factor is demonstrated. Using this method , an enhanced -3 dB bandwidth is observed in agreement with the small signal rate equation analysis. A modulation response that drops at hig h frequencies slower than the conventional direct current modulation r esponse is achieved. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
