Abstract
In this paper an improved dynamical model of a three-section distribut ed Bragg reflector (TSDBR) laser that includes gain saturation effects and mode competition is used to carefully analyze the tuning static c haracteristics, the switching dynamics, and the optically-controlled f requency conversion of the device. As a result, reasonable estimates o f the switching times and insights into the device behavior are obtain ed, together with curves showing the IM/FM frequency and modulation co nversion.
