Abstract
A novel wavelength-tunable distributed amplification distributed feedb ack laser diode (TDA-DFB-LD) is proposed and fabricated, The proposed structure provides synchronous change between the longitudinal mode an d the Bragg wavelength in tuning; thereby continuous wavelength tuning can be realized with single control-current. Moreover, extended tunin g is also possible with two control-currents. A continuous tuning rang e of 2.9 mn and an extended discrete tuning range of 15 nm are experim entally obtained with a 1.55-mu m TDA-DFB-LD.
