10 Gb/s operation of 1.3 /spl mu/m uncooled ridge-waveguide Be-doped DFB laser

Cost-effective up to 40 Gb/s transmission performance of 1310 nm directly Modulated lasers for short- to medium-range distances

“…T O DEVELOP high-speed optical links at low costs, direct laser modulation (DLM) in combination with a simple PIN-photodiode-based receiver is still a very attractive option. The limits of high-speed DLM have been explored extensively in the past [1]- [8]. Recently, a 10 GbE DML was used for successful very-short-range (VSR) transmission experiments at 40 Gb/s [9].…”
