A theoretical (using rate equations) and experimental study of the nonlinear dynamicsof a distributed feedback multiple quantum well laser diode is presented. The analysis isperformed under direct modulation. Period doubling and period tripling are identifiedin both the measurements and simulations. Period doubling is found over a wide rangeof modulation frequencies in the laser. Computational results using rate equations showgood agreement with the experimental results
