Abstract
We report improved tuning regularity in a vertical grating assisted co directional coupler laser with a super-structure grating distributed B ragg reflector (GCSR). Access to 20 wavelengths with SMSR better than 20 dB within a tuning range of 100 mn was obtained with a single curre nt control in a GCSR laser. The total tuning behavior shows a potentia l of complete wavelength coverage over 100 nm by use of three tuning c urrents.
