H. Olesen et al., PROPOSAL OF NOVEL GAIN-LEVERED MQW DFB LASERS WITH HIGH AND RED-SHIFTED FM RESPONSE, IEEE photonics technology letters, 5(6), 1993, pp. 599-602
A new gain-levered MQW DFB laser with high FM efficiency is proposed.
The device consists of three sections with different bandgap energy an
d can be fabricated by selective area MOVPE growth technique. Our nume
rical analysis shows that a flat, red-shifted, and high FM efficiency
of above 1 GHz/mA at 20 mW output power can be realized by the novel g
ain levering scheme.
