Directly Reflectivity Modulated Laser (17 September 2017)

We report a novel directly reflectivity modulated laser (DRML) allowing for phase and intensity modulation through a Michelson interferometric mirror. 

On-off keying at 25/40 Gb/s and binary phase-shift keying at 25 Gb/s are demonstrated. The wavelength tunability is >20 nm.
