Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of the small-signal direct modulation response, based on quantum well (QW) laser rate equations model is presented. This theoretical model is first analytically analyze din order to estimate the influence of the phenomenological parameters taken into account on the modulation bandwidth. We show theoretically that the leakage current increases the low frequency parasitic-like roll-off effect and degrades the differential gain. Results from modulation measurements of a 5 QW AlInGaAs/InP structure are presented. The measurements are fitted with the theoretical model evaluation and the modulation response figures of merit are deduced. The modulation bandwidth limitation mechanisms are related to the extracted parameters and explained by means of carrier transport effects. Simulation results are used in order to assess the carrier capture/escape time ratio influence and leakage current influence on the modulation response.
