Abstract
We have investigated the occurence of a second resonance frequency in distr ibuted Bragg reflector laser diodes and the high modulation bandwidth resul ting from it. The influence of different laser parameters has been theoreti cally investigated. It is also shown that a similar behavior can be obtaine d in laser diodes with a passive, low-loss, and gratingless external cavity , The possibilities of large-signal digital modulation are also investigate d.
