Modeling and design of a DFB laser integrated with a Mach-Zehndermodulator

摘要

A comprehensive model for a complex-coupled distributed feedbacknlaser diode monolithically integrated with a Mach-Zehnder modulator isndeveloped and validated by comparison with experimental data. Methodsnand their tradeoffs for reduction of adiabatic frequency chirp due tonthe parasitic reflections from the modulator are discussed
