Abstract

For the first time with a directly modulated InAs-GaAs quantum-dot laser, high extinction ratio (up to 17 dB) and 25 °C-85 °C single-mode-fiber data floor-free transmissions are achieved at 2.5 Gb/s. Moreover, an interferometric technique showed a nearly constant Henry factor ∼2 until a bias current six times the threshold current.
