88.2021/9/26 OE of HUST 88 Ib & Im LD的驱动电路中偏置电流和调制电流大小的选取至关重要，偏置电流的选择合适与否直接影响激光器的高速调制输出特性。加大直流偏置，使其接近阈值，可以减小电光延迟时间，也可使张驰振荡得到一定程度的抑制。当激光器偏置在阈值附近时，较小的调制电流就能得到足够高的输出光脉冲，调制效率较高，而且由于偏置电流与最大电流相差不大，可以大大减小码型效应和结发热效应的不良影响。过大的直流偏置电流会使消光比恶化，影响接收机灵敏度。激光器恰好偏置在阈值时，散粒噪声会增强，直接影响信号的信噪比。因此偏置电流的选取应兼顾上述各种影响，根据所用光源的特性与具体系统的要求适当选取。
