Abstract

Linwidth enhancement factor .alpha., linwidth, chirping and differential gain characteristics were measured and compared for each DFB-LDs containing active layers composed of bulk, MQW, and S-MQW, respectively. .alpha. of 6, 4 and 3.2 and chirping measured under 2.5Gbps modulation of 1.29nm, 0.67nm and 0.48nm were given for DFB-LDs of bulk, MQW and S-MQW active layers, respectively. And S-MQW has the largest differential gin of 2.4*10$^{-15}$ cm$^{2}$ (S-MQW) compared to the of 5.4*10$^{-16}$ cm$^{2}$(bulk) and 8.6*10$^{-16}$ cm$^{2}$(MQW). Linewidth enhancement facter .alpha. of less than 2 is expected with p-type modulation doped S-MQW DFB-LD.
