Large-signal analysis of the effect of dispersive propagation on the intensity modulation response of semiconductor lasers

Summary form only given. The technologically important problem of the effect of dispersive fiber propagation on the intensity modulation response of semiconductor lasers has been treated in the past assuming either small-signal modulation or low dispersion. In this work we extend the analysis to the large-signal case, which more closely approximates conditions in both coherent detection and intensity modulation-direct detection systems.
