abstract = "Directly-modulated lasers remain excellent candidates for the development of efficient and low-cost short communication links. While the modulation bandwidth of semiconductor lasers is inherently limited by the relaxation oscillations due carrier-photon interaction, it is possible to further enhance the modulation dynamics by using nonlinear architectures. Our recent studies has revealed the high potential of the optically injection-locked semiconductor laser operating under gain lever effect. Modulation bandwidth as large as 85 GHz namely four times larger than that of the free-running semiconductor laser has been unveiled. In this work, we numerically investigate the large-signal capabilities of this transmitter by evaluating eye diagrams and bit error rates. The results confirm its high potential for short communication links operating at high-speeds.",
