K. Kamath et al., SMALL-SIGNAL MODULATION AND DIFFERENTIAL GAIN OF SINGLE-MODE SELF-ORGANIZED IN0.4GA0.6AS GAAS QUANTUM-DOT LASERS/, Applied physics letters, 70(22), 1997, pp. 2952-2953
We report small-signal modulation bandwidth and differential gain meas
urements of a single-layer self-organized In-0.4,Ga0.6As/GaAs quantum
dot laser grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The 3 dB bandwidth of singl
e-mode ridge waveguide lasers was measured to be 7.5 GHz at 100 mA und
er pulsed measurements, demonstrating the possibility of high speed op
eration of these devices. The differential gain was measured to be 1.7
x10(14) cm(2). (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
