Abstract
A broad range tuning of over 100 nm in tunable DBR lasers with superst ructure grating (SSG) is reported. The SSG reflectors for 100 nm were designed and patterned by electron beam lithography. 1.55 mum DBR lase rs with SSG reflector operate in a single mode with a tuning range of 83 nm under CW conditions. With inclusion of the multimode operating r egion, the tuning range becomes as wide as 103 nm.
