High-Speed Direct-Modulation of InP Microdisk Lasers

We demonstrate for the first time high-speed direct-modulation of InP microdisk lasers by exploiting longitudinal mode competition. High-speed operation is demonstrated by means of S21 and PRBS modulation. We show open eye diagrams and bit-error rates up to 10 Gb/s.
