Abstract

For a InGaAsP buried - heterostructrue $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$ LD with fabry-perot cavity structure, the procedures of ultra-short optical pulse genration ar eanalyzed by simulating the rate equations. Investigting the effects of injected current pulse parameters such as bias $J_b$, pulse width $T_d$ and pulse amplitude $J_p$ on the generated optical pulses, we derive the optimum conditions to obtain a single optical pulse with strong peak value. We also observe that the repetition rate of current pulses needs to be restricted under a certain threshold to generate a train of single optical pulses, and that the period doubling phenomenon takes place by increasing the repitition rate.
