Improved expression for the time-bandwidth product of picosecond optical pulses from gain-switched semiconductor lasers.
An improved expression for the time-bandwidth product (DeltatDeltaf) of picosecond optical pulses from gain-switched semiconductor lasers was obtained by a series of numerical simulations based on rate equations without making any assumption for a particular pulse shape and chirp condition. The relation can be expressed by [Equation] as a function of the linewidth-enhancement factor alpha. The influence of the spontaneous emission factor beta on the relation is also examined.
