100 /spl mu/m-wide stripe, Al-free, uncoated, 0.83 /spl mu/m diode lasers provide 4.7 W CW maximum output power and 45% maximum CW wallplug efficiency at T=20/spl deg/C. The active region consists of a 150 /spl Aring/ In/sub 0.09/Ga/sub 0.91/As/sub 0.8/Pb/sub 0.2/ quantum well surrounded by 0.4 /spl mu/m In/sub 0.5/Ga/sub 0.5/P confining layers and 1.5 /spl mu/m In/sub 0.5/(Ga/sub 0.5/Al/sub 0.5/)P cladding layers. For 1 mm-long devices, we obtain threshold-current densities as low as 220 A/cm/sup 2/ and threshold-current characteristic temperature, T/sub 0/, as high as 160 K.

The effect of blocking the lateral current flow in a multiple-quantum well InGaAsP-InP ridge waveguide laser is examined theoretically both for different ridge widths and for various transverse (growth direction) optical confinement factors. It is shown that depending on the optical confinement factor or on the number of wells, the blocking of the lateral current can either increase or decrease the threshhold current of the laser.

We theoretically demonstrate that a properly placed distributed-feedback grating can provide spatial-mode discrimination in phase-locked antiguided arrays. The analysis includes the effects of facet coatings and accounts for the random nature of the cleave location.

The technical advances in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) techniques has made possible the introduction of optical technology into the path layer of the transport network. Besides the significant improvement in the transmission capacity, WDM technology allows the accomplishment of routing and switching functions directly in the optical domain. Thus Optical Cross-Connects (OXCs) can be realized with a throughput of a few hundreds of Gbit/s, so removing the bottleneck placed by electronic technology. The transport network node can be designed as an OXC interfacing a Digital Cross-Connect (DXC). Multi-Gigabit signals are directly routed in the optical network layer by the OXCs, while the DXCs provide demultiplexing to lower digital hierarchies and routing at the electrical level. The optical path layer can be designed so as to be transparent to the signal transmission format and speed. The aim of this paper is to assess the feasibility of transmitting sub-carrier multiplexed CATV channels in this optical path layer, by analysing the performance of the following transmission path: the CATV channels are generated in a production center, cross a geographical area through a transport network and an optical ring of a regional network, down to the access network and then to the customer.

In this paper we describe a separate absorption and multiplication (SAM) avalanche photodiode (APD) in a resonant-cavity configuration. This APD has achieved low noise and record bandwidths. In the low-gain regime, bandwidths >20 GHz were observed. The gain-bandwidth product was 130 GHz, which is the highest reported for a bulk multiplication region and comparable to the best multiple-quantum-well APDs.
