Abstract
DFB lasers with split contacts are shown, by large signal dynamic mode lling, to self-pulsate at gigabit frequencies. Two different self-puls ation schemes are discussed: where the laser switches between the high er and lower stop band modes, and where the laser pulsates around a si ngle mode. The second scheme can yield self-pulsation frequencies beyo nd 20GHz. Comparisons are made with experimental results.
