Feasibility of High Speed Operation of 1.55 /spl mu/m Quantum Dot Laser Diode

A quantum dot laser with 1.55 μm wavelength is demonstrated to operate above room temperature under CW current injection by using InAs quantum dot and InP (001) substrate. It shows -3 dB bandwidth of 4.8 GHz at 2.5 Ith and Eye pattern opens clearly upto 5 Gbps modulation.
