B. Borchert et al., FABRICATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPROVED STRAINED QUANTUM-WELL GAINALAS GAIN-COUPLED DFB LASERS, Electronics Letters, 29(2), 1993, pp. 210-211
Results of improved 1.58 mum GaInAlAs strained quantum-well gain-coupl
ed DFB lasers are presented. Besides the excellent spectral properties
(singlemode yield of 75% and a sidemode suppression ratio of 45 dB),
20 mW output power and CW operation at 80-degrees-C have been obtained
. A record 3 dB bandwidth of 11 GHz was measured. Spectral or dynamica
l instabilities due to the loss grating have not been observed.
