Ea. Avrutin et al., CONTROL OF SURFACE-EMITTING LASER-DIODES BY MODULATING THE DISTRIBUTED BRAGG MIRROR REFLECTIVITY - SMALL-SIGNAL ANALYSIS, Applied physics letters, 63(18), 1993, pp. 2460-2462
Cavity-loss control of surface emitting distributed Bragg reflector la
sers by electro-optic modulation of the Bragg mirror reflectivity is s
hown to be more efficient at high frequencies than the conventional co
ntrol by current modulation. Combining both means of control offers ad
ditional possibilities, such as the elimination of relaxation oscillat
ions and the achievement of a pure frequency-modulation regime.
