Intermodulation distortion in a directly modulated semiconductor injection laser
Kam Y. Lau,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the third order intermodulation distortion product in the modulation response of high speed semiconductor lasers was investigated and it was shown that at low frequencies, an increase at a rate of 40 dB/dec as the modulation frequency is increased, and a leveling off at one half of the relaxation oscillation resonance frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spontaneous and stimulated Raman scattering in long low loss fibers
John C. AuYeung,Amnon Yariv +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the problem of forward Raman scattering process in a single transverse mode fiber and derived expressions for the maximum fiber loss and the minimum fiber length which allow significant pump to Stokes wave conversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Propagation and second-harmonic generation of electromagnetic waves in a coupled-resonator optical waveguide
TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion relation of the coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW) band can be described by a small coupling parameter, and the spatial characteristics of the CROW modes remain the same as those of the single-reonator high Q modes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling laws and minimum threshold currents for quantum-confined semiconductor lasers
TL;DR: In this article, Derry et al. derived basic scaling laws for bulk, two-dimensional and one-dimensional (quantum wire) semiconductor lasers, starting from quantum derivation of the optical properties of confined carriers, the dimensional dependencies of the scaling laws are made explicit.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the linewidth enhancement factor α in semiconductor injection lasers
TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for the linewidth enhancement factor α and its frequency dependence in semiconductor lasers is presented, which is in reasonable agreement with the experimental results.
