Modulation bandwidth enhancement and nonlinear distortion suppression in directly modulated monolithic injection-locked DFB lasers

We have experimentally investigated the dynamic performance and the suppression of nonlinear distortions of a monolithic optical injection-locked distributed feedback (DFB) laser. The master and the slave lasers are monolithically integrated in a single strip of strongly coupled DFB laser. Optical injection locking is achieved by current tuning. The resonant frequency of the laser is increased from 11 GHz to 23 GHz, and nonlinear distortions are suppressed by more than 15 dB.
