What effects of the internal laser diode capacitance on the output optical power?

The internal laser diode capacitance affects the output optical power by influencing the modulation response and frequency performance of the diode. High capacitance can lead to slower response times, reducing the ability to modulate the output power effectively at high frequencies. This can result in a decrease in overall optical power output during rapid modulation scenariOS. Additionally, increased capacitance may lead to signal distortion, further impacting the quality and stability of the emitted optical power.
