M. Okai et al., COMPLEX-COUPLED LAMBDA 4-SHIFTED DFB LASERS WITH A FLAT FM RESPONSE FROM 10KHZ TO 17 GHZ/, Electronics Letters, 30(14), 1994, pp. 1135-1137
Semiconductor lasers with a flat FM response are required for coherent
FSK transmission systems. A complex-coupled lambda/4-shifted DFB lase
r is described that gives a flat FM response from 10kHz to 17GHz at 15
mW, achieved by using the self-suppressing mechanism of the spatial ho
le-burning effect.
