We have discovered that coherent variation of at least two laser parameters can result in improved device performance, e.g., in pure amplitude or frequency modulation at frequencies substantially above 1 GHz, or in previously unattainable modulation frequencies. Among the relevant laser parameters are...http://www.google.com/patents/US5311526?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US5311526 - Article that comprises a semiconductor laser, and method of operating the article
