Abstract
To study the above-threshold operation of DFB lasers, we have develope d a multisection model which we present in detail. We have assessed th e sensitivity to hole burning of various strongly coupled DFB lasers a nd explained their behavior both qualitatively and quantitatively. Goo d agreement is found with experimental results. It turns out that DFB lasers with a narrow stripe region are more stable than lambda/4-shift ed DFB lasers.
