Abstract
The design, growth, and steady-state and small-signal modulation characteristics of high-speed tunnel injection In0.4Ga0.6As/GaAs quantum dot lasers are described and discussed. The measured small-signal modulation bandwidth for I/Ith ~ 3.2 is f-3dB = 22GHz and the gain compression factor for this frequency response is ε = 7.2s10-16 cm3. The differential gain obtained from the modulation data is dg/dn ≈ 8.85x10-14 cm2 at room temperature. The value of the K-factor is 0.171ns and the maximum intrinsic modulation bandwidth is 55GHz. The measured high speed data are comparable to, or better than, equivalent quantum well lasers for the first time.
