Abstract

A simple scheme for data transmission by direct modulation of a gain-switched semiconductor laser is demonstrated. Experimental results are presented that show low error rate and low pattern dependence. The sensitivity of the error rate to changes in drive conditions is also measured. Comparison of our direct modulation scheme with external modulation of the same gain-switched laser shows nearly penalty-free operation.
