Abstract
For the first time, a DBR laser with an electro-optical Bragg section is reported for fast wavelength tuning operation, Using voltage to tun e the wavelength, we measured on this device, the shortest switching t ime between different wavelength channels ever reported on DBR lasers: 500 ps, independently of the wavelength shift.
