Abstract
Abstract The effect of detuning the frequency and power of an electrical comb generator on the peak power, pulse width, and timing jitter of a 1.55 μm Fabry–Perot laser diode transmitter operating in the gain‐switching mode is discussed. The optimal frequencies for achieving the lowest timing jitter (510 MHz), the shortest pulse width (535 MHz), and the largest power (460 MHz) that deviated from theoretical predictions are obtained. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
