TL;DR: In this article, a Si3N4 core waveguide matched to a laser mode is adiabatically tapered into a SiO2:P core waveguarded fiber mode.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the temperature dependence of threshold carrier density in MQW and bulk active laser based on a detailed band theory calculation and showed that the calculated value of T/sub 0/ depends on the structure of the active layer, e.g., multiquantum well versus bulk.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fully functional 2.5-Gb/s electroabsorption (EA)-modulated wavelength-selectable laser module meeting all long-haul transmission requirements for stability, chirp, power and linewidth over 20 channels on a 50GHz grid was presented.

TL;DR: Differential carrier lifetimes of semiconductor lasers are obtained directly from the device impedance measurements as discussed by the authors, which gives accurate lifetimes down to low bias currents, at which correct lifetimes are an order of magnitude higher than those obtained by a commonly used optical technique.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for frequency stabilization of an optical source using data obtained from a frequency stabilization system based on an optical frequency discriminator to stabilize the output of a laser to a particular grid channel is presented.
