“…The reflection sensitivity in this regime strongly depends on the gain suppression value. In our simulations and analytical approximations, we have taken a modest value for ε = 10 −18 cm 3 , but much higher values have been reported in literature [33], [34], which give a much lower reflection sensitivity.…”
Section: Unidirectionality and Reflection Sensitivitymentioning
Abstract-We review recent theoretical and experimental work on InP membrane microdisk lasers heterogeneously integrated on SOI and coupled to a Si bus waveguide. The lasers can now be fabricated with very high yield, have typical threshold currents of 0.5 mA and output powers of tens of μW, while the total power consumption is restricted to 5 mW. First, we describe various improvements in the fabrication technology and interesting results on the uniformity in device characteristics. In a second part, unidirectional behaviour and reflection sensitivity are briefly discussed. The third part is focused on optical signal regeneration with microdisk lasers. The last part contains a brief summary of optical interconnects based on heterogeneously integrated microdisk lasers and heterogeneously integrated photodetectors.

“…The modulation dynamics of a semiconductor laser are determined by large signal rate equations assuming a noiseless system with oscillations in a single longitudinal mode above threshold. These equations relate the carrier density N(t), photon density S(t) and optical phase ϕ(t) to the modulation current I(t) [27] …”

“…The gain slope constant g 0 is given by g 0 =v g a 0 , where v g is the group velocity and a 0 is the active layer gain coefficient. The optical power P(t) at the output of the DML is given by [27]:…”

“…11. When the laser mode is shifted from the gain center, the available gain becomes smaller and subsequently the RO frequency is expected to decrease (ϳg 1/2 ), 12,13 as shown in Fig. 3.…”
Section: Feasibility Of 5 Gbitõs Wavelength Division Multiplexing Usimentioning
The dynamics of single-mode quantum dot lasers is modeled theoretically. It is predicted that, assuming reasonable material properties, eye-patterns remain open for 5 Gbit/s large signal modulation within a finite spectral range (>50 nm), corresponding to 64 wavelength division multiplexing channels with 0.8 nm separation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
