Embodiment Construction
[0044] figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the invention is shown in which an electroabsorption (EA) modulator is integrated inside a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser cavity. The EA section is reverse biased. Applying a reverse bias voltage to the EA increases cavity losses, which increases the threshold gain for lasing. This increases the threshold carrier density, which results in a blue shift of the lasing frequency, ie provides frequency modulation.
[0045] by reference image 3 , to be able to understand the larger FM efficiency produced by loss modulation, image 3 Lasing wavelength is shown as a function of current injected into a traveling wave (CW) laser. It is known that the laser wavelength of a CW semiconductor laser depends on a threshold current. When more carriers are injected into the laser below the threshold, the wavelength is blue-shifted. For example, when the threshold current is increased from 7mA to 9mA, the wavelength of the laser shifts b...
