Single-wavelength operation of 1.53 μm GaInAsP/InP buried-heterostructure integrated twin-guide laser with distributed Bragg reflector under direct modulation up to 1 GHz

Abstract
1.53 μm GaInAsP/InP buried-heterostructure integrated twin-guide laser with distributed Bragg reflector (BH-DBR-ITG laser) was directly modulated with microwave modulation current superimposed on a DC bias which was fixed at 1.1 times the threshold current, and single-wavelength operation was experimentally confirmed with a modulation frequency up to 1 GHz and a modulation depth of 100%.
