The spectral-threshold characteristics of a distributed-feedback (DFB) laser with the sinusoidal modulation of the complex coupling coefficient are studied within the framework of the linear theory of coupled modes. The analysis is performed in a broad range of amplitudes of the coupling coefficient for phase, amplitude, and amplitude - phase gratings providing distributed feedback in the active medium of the laser. It is shown that the eigenmode spectrum of the DFB laser on a phase grating with a large-scale modulation of the coupling coefficient is similar to the eigenmode spectrum of the DFB laser on an amplitude grating with a constant coupling coefficient. The DFB laser under study is promising for obtaining stable single-frequency lasing and can find applications in devices in integrated optics. (lasers)
