Abstract
Systematic IM frequency response measurements have been performed on the tu ning section of distributed Bragg reflector lasers aged at 60 degrees C and 120 degrees C. The wavelength drift varies exponentially with aging time a s well as carrier lifetime of the tuning section. The carrier lifetime incr eases with time indicating a wavelength drift mainly due to leakage current increase at high carrier density injection.
