Abstract
The explosive growth of Internet/intranet traffic has created a strong demand for cost-effective high-speed light-sources to be used in local access networks and data links. The frequency of relaxation oscillation (fr) is a major factor that restricts the high-speed operation of laser diodes. To achieve a high fr, the material of an active layer should have a large differential gain. By using GaInNAs, very deep quantum wells, especially in the conduction band can be formed. Deep quantum wells bring a large differential gain. In this paper, we show how GaInNAs lasers can be applied in this application
