Abstract
The authors demonstrate the optical generation of self-pulsations in c omplex-coupled DFB laser diodes by selectively positioning the facet w ith respect to the internal grating. The self-pulsations are accompani ed by a strong intensity noise enhancement which partly originates fro m mode competition. Applying a simple model they determine the imagina ry part of the complex coupling coefficient from the self-pulsation fr equency.
