Abstract
The design and operation of dual-wavelength InGaAs-GaAs asymmetric cladding ridge waveguide distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers are reported. DBR lasers with mode pair separations of 4.1, 8.4, and 16.9 nm exhibit stable, simultaneous, dual-wavelength operation in current ranges of 40-52 mA, 32- 42 mA, and 28-35 mA, respectively. Within the stated current ranges, all la sing modes exhibit at least 20-dB sidemode suppression, and approximately 3 0-dB sidemode suppression under optimum operating conditions.
