Abstract
The possibility to directly modulate widely tunable lasers up to several gigahertz is desirable in telecom applications. We discuss the dynamic properties of the recently proposed widely tunable twin-guide laser concept. It has promising prospects with a maximum theoretical bandwidth above 20 GHz and the 3-dB bandwidth at 250 mA indicates that an actual bandwidth of 12 GHz should be possible. The current lasers were not designed for high-speed modulation, so only 1-GHz modulation can be reached at the moment. Related Research Topics
