Record tuning range of a 1.55 {micro}m DBR laser realized by selective area growth

Book ·
OSTI ID:536191

A DBR laser diode with a record 7 nm tuning range has been demonstrated using SAG. The use of MQW structures combined with a small detuning between active and tuning regions of the device have lead to an appreciable output power stability while tuning it. SAG appears as a very simple way for achieving wavelength compatibility. This demonstrates the potential of the method to realize with strained InGaAsP/InGaAsP MQW more complex components with for example three sections of different transition energy.
