This project is a study of the optimization of a ring resonator filter situated after a DML semiconductor laser in a global short-range optical link system. The main purpose is to optimize the optical filter performing matlab simulations in order to find the parameters of the transfer function of the filter that we may tune to achieve an error-free transmission. From a theoretical point of view, this project will give the knowledge of the optical direct modulation operation where the chirp is an evitable factor that we have to minimize to achieve good performance in our global system. Also a high extinction ratio over this low chirp will be an interesting parameter to take into account. Combining the theoretical background of DML and ring resonators of terms such as FSR, internal losses, finesse…with the experimental work, the goal of the project will be achieved concluding that there is some intervals in which the parameters can oscillate in order to obtain the fewer errors in the system.
