Calculations reveal that the gain compression is not necessarily a drawback affecting the laser dynamics. With a practical injection strength, a high gain lever effect and a moderate compression value allow us to theoretically predict a modulation bandwidth four times higher than the free-running one without a gain lever,which is of paramount importance for the development of directly modulated broadband optical sources compatible with short-reach communication links.展开更多
