| Abstract: | The FM response of a single-frequency semiconductor laser is very important for communication systems that use direct modulation of the laser injection current. A new rate equation for the optical phase in quantum-well lasers is proposed, and the corresponding FM response is derived. It is shown that the separate-confinement-heterostructure can have a significant effect on the laser performance. The theory is confirmed with experimental results |
