Abstract
We demonstrate a new method of suppressing nonlinear distortions in directly modulated DFB lasers. In our scheme, external laser light is injected into the sidemode of the DFB laser. Using this scheme, we achieved significant reduction in nonlinear distortions such as the second harmonic distortion (SHD), second order intermodulation distortion (IMD2), and third order intermodulation distortion (IMD3). In addition, we enhanced the external light detuning range.
