Study on the direct modulation characteristics of high power semiconductor laser
The direct modulation of high power semiconductor laser driver that is composed of the current modulation circuit and the over current protection circuit is introduced, two direct modulation circuits with different modulation output current amplitude are designed and the direct modulation of characteristics is analyzed, providing the output current waveform of the direct modulation of high power semiconductor laser. In this paper, a new modulation output current with a peak current of 9.5A is designed with bias current of 0.8A and the modulation current bandwidth of 2.56MHz. The width of the modulation current pulse keeps stable after widening. When the input signal is voltage pulse with uniform pulse width, it can output current pulse with uniform pulse width. And the modulation output current with a peak current of 9.5A is designed with bias current of 0.8A and the modulation current bandwidth of 5MHz. We have a theoretical study on the dynamic characteristics of direct modulation of semiconductor laser. We also have done some experiments on the basis of the simulation, the experimental results show that the output pulse laser intensity and the pulse laser modulation signal width change with changing the width of the pulse, and the actual modulated output pulse laser has a certain time delay with respect to the modulated signal.

1.3 mm p Modulation Doped InGaAs/GaAs Quantum Dot Lasers with High Speed Direct Modulation Rate and Strong Optical Feedback Resistance
Aiming to realize high speed optical transmitters for isolator free telecommunication systems, 1.3 mm p modulation doped InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) lasers with a 400 mm long cavity have been reported. Compared with the un doped QD laser as a reference, the p doped QD laser emits at ground state, with an ultra low threshold current and a high maximum output power. The p doped QD laser also shows enhanced dynamic characteristics, with a 10 Gb/s large signal direct modulation rate and a 7.8 GHz 3dB bandwidth. In addition, the p doped QD laser exhibits a strong coherent optical feedback resistance, which might be beyond 9 dB.

High Speed Direct Modulation of a Heterogeneously Integrated InP/SOI DFB Laser
An integrated laser source to a silicon photonics circuit is an important requirement for optical interconnects. We present direct modulation of a heterogeneously integrated distributed feedback laser on and coupled to a silicon waveguide. We demonstrate a 28 Gb/s pseudo random bit sequence non return to zero data transmission over 2 km non zero dispersion shifted fiber with a 1 dB power penalty. Additionally, we show 40 Gb/s duobinary modulation generated using the bandwidth limitation of the laser for both back to back and fiber transmission configurations. Furthermore, we investigate the device performance for the pulse amplitude modulation (PAM 4) at 20 GBd for high speed short reach applications.

Terahertz direct modulation techniques for high speed communication systems
Terahertz communication technology can provide abundant frequency resources, strong confidentiality, antijamming capability, communication tracking capability and the ability to achieve highspeed data transmissions and can serve as an important technical method for high speed communications in the future. Among these terahertz communication technologies, terahertz direct modulation technology is a key means to achieve low system complexity and power consumption. In this paper, a review and outlook of terahertz direct modulation technology are proposed from the aspects of high electron mobility transistor based terahertz direct modulation, parallelswitch terahertz direct modulation, diode based terahertz direct modulation, quantum cascade laser based terahertz direct modulation and new material based terahertz direct modulation. We hope through this paper that more readers can gain knowledge about the development and challenges of terahertz direct modulation technology for high speed communication systems, thus promoting the development of high speed terahertz communication technology based on direct modulation.

High power narrow linewidth Raman amplifier and its limitation
We investigated the limitations in output power generated by a high power narrow linewidth Raman fiber amplifier. The pump was produced by a kW level all fiber Yb doped amplifier emitting at 1060 nm, whose seed linewidth could be changed. The Raman seed was a narrow linewidth signal at 1110 nm co propagating with the laser at 1060 nm. The main Raman conversion occurred in the passive fiber at the amplifier output. We identified cross phase modulation (XPM) as a main reason for broadening of the Raman light by using different pump sources, which is a first limitation. An improved setup was limited at approximately 600 W of Stokes output power by a threshold like onset of a transverse mode instability. Since the instability was not observed without a Stokes seed and the temperatures of the active fiber with and without Stokes seed are equal, this constitutes the first direct observation of transverse mode instabilities (TMI) induced by SRS in a passive fiber.
