Title: Direct modulation of lasers by dispersive threshold switching

Abstract

For the first time it is demonstrated, that a laser can be switched electrically on and off at a fixed net gain by a dispersive threshold switching. Switching with 30 dB contrast is achieved by 0.5 mA phase current variation. Short optical pulses were generated by 1 GHz sinus modulation of the phase current. Low chirp was observed at 5 GHz modulation.
