Abstract
Low modulation distortion light sources are indispensable for analog fiber-optic communication systems. Distributed feedback (DFB) laser diodes have been developed for this purpose. Flowever, Distortions based on non-linearities caused by mainly gain compression in active region, longitudinal hole burning (LHB) and leakage current1−4 are quite serious problem. In this paper, we handled distortion as an electric RF signal and analyzed its characteristics for the first time by measuring the phase difference between modulation signal and second harmonic distortion (2HD). These results suggest the existence of enhancement/cancellation mechanism of individual distortion sources.
