Abstract
The second- and third-order harmonic distortion in distributed feedbac k (DFB) lasers is simulated using a time domain large signal dynamic m odel, The effects of the longitudinal spatial hot burning, nonlinear g ain, spontaneous emission, and current leakage are included in the mod el, Composite second-order (CSO) and composite triple beat (CTB) are c alculated for an 80 channel 60-540 MHz system with 3% modulation depth in each channel, The simulation results are compared with the experim ental harmonic distortion measurements.
