Abstract
We consider practical issues related to narrow-band resonant modulation of laser diodes at frequencies above relaxation oscillation. We established the limits to the performance of this approach based on bandwidth, noise, and intermodulation distortion considerations, as well as the proper trade-offs between these three quantities.Keywords
