摘要
A theoretical model is presented for simulating the sampled grating distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) laser integrated with semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator. In this model, the active and passive sections are processed separately. The active region of laser and the SOA section are modeled by time domain traveling wave (TDTW) method. While the spectral properties of the SG and the MZ modulator are firstly calculated by Transfer-Matrix Method (TMM) and Beam Propagation Method (BPM), respectively, and then transformed into time domain using digital filter approach. Furthermore, the nonuniform carrier-dependence of gain and refractive index are also incorporated via Effective Bloch Equations (EBE). Compared with the full time-domain method, our model would be more flexible and efficient. The static and modulation performances of device are successfully simulated. This indicates that it can be a powerful platform for investigating the complex Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).
