Abstract

The fabrication and performance of high-speed and low relative intensity noise (RIN) 1.3 micrometers InGaAsP semi-insulating buried crescent (SIBC) Fabry-Perot (FP) lasers with Zn- doped active layers are reported. These SIBC lasers have a 3-dB modulation bandwidth of 19 GHz for pulsed operation and 16 GHz for cw operation, and a RIN below -150 dB/Hz for biased current at 120 mA. This is the highest modulation bandwidth yet reported for InGaAsP lasers with semi-insulating current blocking layers.
