Abstract

The dynamic frequency shift, or frequency chirp, in pulse modulated semiconductor lasers has recently received great attention since it limits the bandwidth-distance product in high bit rate-dispersive optical communication systems emploing dynamic single mode lasers [1]. In the search for a laser structure that exhibits a small frequency chirp, the single quantum well (SQW) structure has been suggested [2–4]. In this paper, we report on an experimental investigation of the frequency chirp in picosecond pulses from pulse modulated GaAs/AlGaAs lasers with SQW active layers and the chirp dependence on the lateral guiding mechanism.
