Abstract
In this letter we derive analytic results for the timing jitter in gain‐switched semiconductor lasers driven with electrical pulse shapes commonly used in practice. The analytic results allow us to identify laser parameters as well as electrical bias and pulse conditions which affect timing jitter. These results are in good agreement with experimental observations.Keywords
