Part A of 2 parts. / <p> This report is a study of the dynamic properties of semiconductor
laser diodes. The measurement of some important laser diode parameters
necessary for dynamic behaviour prediction is described. The relaxation
oscillation behaviour for laser diodes pumped with nanosecond time scale
current pulses is predicted using both an approximate analytic solution
and computer simulations. This predicted behaviour is compared with
experimental results. Dynamic experiments with an external cavity for
extra optical feedback and a regenerative loop for optoelectronic
feedback are also described and discussed. Details of the experimental
setups and techniques used are given. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
