Abstract
We report a multiple quantum well ridge guide laser tuned by the quant um confined Stark effect. In contrast to carrier-induced effect tuned lasers, the frequency modulation response of our laser is highly unifo rm (+/-0.7 dB) over the frequency range from 10 kHz to 100 MHz, and wi thin +/-2.5 dB from 5 kHz to 500 MHz, with the upper frequency parasit ic capacitance limited. We predict that the response could be extended to over 20 GHz by using a low parasitic contacting structure. (C) 199 7 American Institute of Physics.
