Performance implications of mode partition fluctuations in nearly single longitudinal mode lasers

· J. Lightwave Technol.; (United States)
A statistical model of mode partition fluctuations is developed for semiconductor laser diodes with a single dominant lasing mode and one vestigial side mode. It is the basis of a rigorous analysis of the influence of partition fluctuations on the performance of digital lightwave transmission systems. A Gauss quadrature rule is used to evaluate the average probability of error in the presence of mode-partition-dependent shot noise, photodetector multiplication noise, circuit noise, and intersymbol interference. This methodology permits the determination of reliable performance estimates enabling the establishment of permissible degrees of mode partition fluctuations. 32 references.
