Linearity and third-order intermodulation distortion in DFB semiconductor lasers

This paper presents a systematic investigation of the third-order intermodulation distortion characteristics in distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers. The influence of several nonlinearities, such as longitudinal spatial hole burning, gain compression, and relaxation oscillation, is considered. Detailed analysis shows that it is possible to make different nonlinearities cancel one another to give a low intermodulation distortion by choosing the appropriate DFB structure and beat conditions. Specifically, conditions for cancellation between spatial hole burning and gain compression nonlinearities are introduced.
