The effect of dynamic linewidth broadening due to frequency chirping in directly modulated
single-mode lasers, combined with dispersive single-mode fibers, has been investigated …

Directly modulated semiconductor lasers exhibit a dynamic wavelength shift (chirping)
arising from gain-induced variations of the laser refractive index. The effect of laser chirping …

A pulse-compression phenomenon of a chirp pulse transmitted through a long single-mode
fibre is presented. The chirp pulse is obtained by using a carrier density change in a DFB …

An investigation is made of the effects of initial or dynamically induced chirping on the linear
propagation characteristics of pulses in optical fibers. It is shown that under certain …

A theoretical study of the nonlinear propagation of picosecond chirped pulses in single-

The propagation of chirped picosecond InGaAsP injection laser pulses in single-mode fibers
in the minimum chromatic dispersion wavelength region is reported. The observed initial …

The effect of modulation-induced laser wavelength shifts on optical transmission through
dispersive fibres is shown to be a serious limiting factor at bit rates greater than 1 Gbit/s …

The theory of pulse distortion in single-mode fibers is extended to include laser sources that
suffer a linear wavelength sweep (chirp) during the duration of the pulse. The transmitted …
