Abstract
We describe the performance of 1.3 <i>μ</i>m InGaAlAs ridge waveguide multiple quantum-well
distributed feedback lasers. We obtained a 3 dB down bandwidth frequency of
around 30 GHz by shortening the cavity length of the laser. We demonstrated
experimentally that it is possible to obtain clear eye opening at a 43 Gb/s
modulation speed after a 40 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission using
a directly modulated laser. We fabricated a compact transistor outline (TO)-CAN
module whose volume was about 1/19 that of a conventional butterfly package. We successfully obtained
clear eye opening for a 40 km SMF transmission at 43 Gb/s with the TO-CAN
module.
