T. Hayakawa et al., SINGLE LONGITUDINAL MODE PROPERTIES OF EXTERNAL-CAVITY TAPERED AND STRAIGHT BROAD-STRIPE LASERS WITH BANDPASS FILTER, JPN J A P 2, 35(8B), 1996, pp. 1062-1064
The single longitudinal mode properties of external cavity broad-strip
e lasers combined with bandpass filters have been investigated. With t
apered amplifiers the emission wavelength changes periodically as a fu
nction of the driving current due to shifting of the internal Fabry-Pe
r of mode and the narrow bandwidth of the Biter. In contrast, with str
aight amplifiers, the peak wavelength monotonically varies. This is du
e to changes in the transverse mode of straight amplifiers.
