If. Lealman et al., EFFECTS OF ZN DOPING ON MODULATION BANDWIDTH OF 1.55 MU-M INGAAS INGAASP MULTIQUANTUM-WELL DFB LASERS, Electronics Letters, 29(13), 1993, pp. 1197-1198
Experimental results are presented that confirm that Zn doping the act
ive region of multiquantum well DFB lasers enhances their modulation b
andwidth. This is achieved by reducing both the damping and low freque
ncy rolloff associated with carrier transport. A maximum CW bandwidth
of 17 GHz at 20-degrees-C is reported.
