2 Gb/s Operation of single longitudinal mode 1.5micron double channel planar buried heterostructure C(3) lasers.
01 January 1984
High speed operation of Cleaved Coupled Cavity (C(3)) lasers made from Double Channel Planar Buried Heterostructure (DCPBH) lasers operating at 1.5micron wavelength is reported. Error- free (error rate 10(-11)/s) operation through a spectrometer at a data rate of 2 Gb/s and with large on-off and mode rejection ratios is demonstrated. Small-signal bandwidth measurements indicate possible operation of these lasers up to about 4 Gb/s.
