Single-frequency operation of 1.5 ..mu..m semiconductor lasers was obtained by combining a regular Fabry-Perot laser to an external waveguide Bragg reflector. The laser is characterized by very pure single-frequency operation, 1 MHz linewidth, and greatly-reduced frequency chirp under direct modulation. The laser has been tested in 1.7 Gbit/s transmission experiments over 82.5 km of fiber.
