Abstract
Various characteristics of a gain switched 650 nm InGaAlP Fabry Perot laser diode was investigated in time domain and wavelength domain for ultra fast optical transmission systems. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) was used as electric signal source to generate a sinusoidal RF signal. An electronic amplifier with 20dB gain was used just after the VCO. The optical spectrum for the gain switched operation showed more modes and broadened envelope due to chirping effect during a pulse generation period. The shortest optical pulse was found to be 33.279 psec with the laser diode.
