We explore the concept of passive-feedback lasers for direct signal
modulation at 40 Gbit/s. Based on numerical simulation and bifurcation
analysis, we explain the main mechanisms in these devices which are
crucial for modulation at high speed. The predicted effects are
demonstrated experimentally by means of correspondingly designed
devices. In particular a significant improvement of the modulation
bandwidth at low injection currents can be demonstrated.
