Abstract

We have studied characteristics of a 23-μm-diameter microdisk laser operating in a regime of direct high-frequency modulation at a stabilized heat-sink temperature of 18°C. It is found that the minimum energy consumption in this regime amounts to ~1.6 pJ/bit and is achieved at a modulation frequency of 4.2 GHz. The maximum modulation frequency is 6.7 GHz, at which the minimum energy consumption is 3.3 pJ/bit.
