B. Sartorius et al., CONTROLLABLE SELF-PULSATIONS IN MULTISECTION DFB LASERS WITH AN INTEGRATED PHASE-TUNING SECTION, IEEE photonics technology letters, 7(11), 1995, pp. 1261-1263
1.55-mu m InGaAsP-InP multi-section DFB lasers with an integrated phas
e tuning section have been fabricated. It is shown for the first time
that the self-pulsation can be electrically switched on and off by adj
usting the phase current. Reproducible self-pulsation characteristics
from device to device are achieved in this way.
