Direct pulse modulation rates of semiconductor laser diodes are limited by an unwanted oscillation, that is, the relaxation oscillation, which is governed by a nonlinear laser rate equation.
Directly modulated lasers (DML lasers) are widely used in optical communications due to their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. These devices
Laser diodes can be directly modulated by application of current directly to the device; a drawback of this approach, however, is the possibility of a signal-degrading phenomenon, known as
