Abstract
Investigation of the rate equations of a semiconductor laser suggests that bit rates of 3-4 Gbit/s can be achieved. Delay, ringing transients, and charge-storage effects can be removed by adjusting the dc-bias current and the peak and width of the current pulse to values prescribed by simple analytical expressions. Also, simple approximate formulas for the light pulse maximum, width, delay, and integrated values are given.Keywords
