Title
High Performance BH InAs/InP QD and InGaAsP/InP QW Mode-Locked Lasers as Comb and Pulse Sources
Abstract
Coherent comb lasers may serve as a source for multiwavelength modulators in short reach transmission, or for phase controlled OFDM channels in long reach. We explore and compare quantum dot (QD) and quantum well (QW) lasers with more than 33 channels in the DWDM 50 GHz grid, thus enabling > 1 Tb/s optical transmission. In addition, the mode-locked devices can be applied as pulse sources with < 500 fs pulses by using a simple SMF. We build QD and QW buried heterostructure (BH) lasers from different epitaxial structures, but sharing an identical mask set.
