Accurate Nonlinear Volterra Series Analysis for Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers

In this letter, an accurate nonlinear Volterra series analysis for vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) is presented. Closed-form expressions for the modulation response, harmonic distortions, and second- and third-order intermodulation distortions are derived. Moreover, the suggested nonlinear model avoids the numerical solution of laser rate equations and provides in-depth insight of a distortion analysis of VCSEL.     

Intermodulation and harmonic distortions of laser diodes withoptical feedback

Analytical expressions for the second-order harmonic and the third-order intermodulation distortions of laser diodes with optical feedback are derived. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that optical feedback from the transmission fiber considerably enhances intermodulation and harmonic distortions of laser diodes. Third-order intermodulation distortions up to -15 dBc must be expected for two-tone modulation and low-intensity modulation indexes m≈7% per carrier, which affects the performance of subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) communication systems. To avoid additional distortions the external feedback level must be two orders of magnitudes lower than the critical external feedback level of the laser diode

Large Signal Analysis of the Michelson Interferometer with Gires-Tournois Interferometers in its Arms

A mathematical model for the transfer function of the Michelson interferometer with Gires-Tournois interferometers in its arms is presented. The model, basically a sine-series function, can easily yield closed-form expressions for the amplitudes of the harmonic and intermodulation components of the output when the input is formed of large-amplitude multisinusoidal voltage. The special case of two-tone equal-amplitude input voltage is considered in detail. The results show that the third-order intermodulation component is always higher than the third-harmonic component. The results also show that the linearity of the Michelson interferometer with Gires-Tournois interferometers in its arms improves with the increase of the front mirror reflectivity. Moreover, the results show that the third-order intermodulation exhibits a minimum for relatively large values of the front mirror reflectivity. Furthermore, compared with the traditional Mach-Zehnder interferometer, the results show that a reduction of 15 dB in the third-order intermodulation can be achieved even for relatively small values of the front mirror reflectivity.     

Improvements in fiber-optic transmission of multicarrier TV signal

When the number of TV channels is high, a significant harmonic and intermodulation distortion arises. These distortions can be reduced by improving the modulation linearity of the laser or by applying a more appropriate modulation method. Both solutions are discussed and evaluated in detail. The linearity has been significantly improved by applying an active matching technique. The improvement achieved by the new driving circuit over the conventional one is 15 dB considering the third harmonic distortion. The sensitivity of QPSK TV transmission to disturbing interferences has been investigated. A so-called group modulation method offers a better approach for optical multicarrier TV transmission     

Fiber induced distortion in a subcarrier multiplexed lightwavesystem

The harmonic and intermodulation distortions induced by fiber dispersions are analyzed. The concept of the common frequency (or common period) is introduced for the analyses of intermodulation. It is shown that both the magnitude and shape of the sum terms of the intermodulation are quite similar to those of the harmonic distortions of the same order. The difference terms of the intermodulation are much smaller if the subcarrier frequencies are not far apart from one another. It is concluded that the influence of dispersion-induced distortions depends on the subcarrier frequency, the dispersion constant, the length of the fiber, and the modulation indexes. Accompanied by the development of high-frequency and large capacity systems and single-mode lasers with extra narrow spectrum, the dispersion-induced distortions may become one of the most important factors in determining information capacity and transmission distance     

In search of a linear electrooptic amplitude modulator

An electrooptic modulator which offers high linearity and low intermodulation distortion (IMD) is proposed. The modulation characteristics, harmonic and intermodulation distortions, are calculated. In the two-tone test with an optical modulation depth of 16% for each channel, the third-order IMD is expected to be as low as -95 dB. Such a linearized electrooptic modulator used in conjunction with diode-pumped solid-state lasers can be expected to outperform directly modulated injection lasers for CATV transmission systems.<>

Scaling behavior of bipolar cascade VCSELs

We present theoretical and experimental results on the scaling properties of bipolar cascade vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers with respect to active region stacking and out-coupling mirror reflectivity. The measurement results at around 980-nm wavelength confirm the theoretically expected behavior of an almost linear increase in slope efficiency and a reduction in threshold current density with the number of stages. A three-stage laser shows a differential quantum efficiency of 128% in continuous-wave operation at room temperature. For the threshold current density, we obtain a decrease from 3.75 kA/cm² for the conventional VCSEL to about 1.2 kA/cm² for a three-stage device. Such multi-diode cascade VCSELs are highly interesting for optical links, analog systems, and high-power applications
