Abstract
This paper describes microwave, laser, and fiber models that were used in the development of the HP LSC2500 2.488-Gbit/s laser diode module. Knowledge of the modeled behavior of the laser diode as a function of the input electrical pulse shape has led to deliberately shaping the input pulse to give the minimum wavelength excursion during direct mod ulation, and therefore a high yield of low-dispersion-penalty laser di odes. These devices can be successfully used for transmission distance s in excess of 200 km.
