Abstract
Injection-tunable three-section Distributed Reflector lasers emitting near 1.55 mum have been fabricated employing bulk 1.48-mum-bandgap InG aAsP in the tuning layer of the phase and Bragg sections. The gain in this material compensates for the increased absorption loss during tun ing, which results in a nearly wavelength-independent optical output p ower. The maximum obtained output power is 28 mW ex facet, with a spec tral linewidth around 5 MHz.
