Abstract
The modulation bandwidth of GaAlAs double heterostructure (DH) lasers in high magnetic fields is measured. We found that the modulation bandwidth is enhanced by 1.4× with a magnetic field of 20 T. This improvement is believed to result from the increase of the differential gain due to two-dimensional carrier confinement effects in the high magnetic field (quantum wire effects). A comparison of the experimental results with a theoretical analysis indicates that the intraband relaxation time tauin of the measured DH laser in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 ps.
