Abstract
The use of angled facet semiconductor laser chips in fibre grating las ers (FGL) is shown to dramatically improve device characteristics over conventional normal facet FGLs. This improvement in performance allow s the laser to be operated with no temperature control at 155Mbit/s an d makes it feasible for it to be used as a wavelength stable, uncooled source in a WDM optical access network.
