Abstract
We propose a new Distributed Bragg Reflector laser using the phase var iation of the Bragg facet reflectivity to improve the tunability. The modelling yields a 20 nm tuning range corresponding to a 8 nm increase of the classic DBR tunability. Preliminary experimental results confi rmed this tuning improvement.
