摘要：

Dynamical properties of cross-gain modulation (XGM) within the inhomogeneously broadened gain spectrum of an InP quantum dash optical amplifier operating at 1550 nm are examined. The small-signal XGM modulation bandwidth increases with the carrier escape time, which is achieved at long probe wavelengths. The nature of the XGM dynamics is confirmed by spectrally resolved optical modulation response measurements in quantum dash lasers. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
