M. Kamoun et al., INGAP INASP MQW COMPLEX-COUPLED DFB TAPERLESS LASER WITH LARGE SPOT SIZE AND HIGH COUPLING EFFICIENCY/, Electronics Letters, 33(10), 1997, pp. 906-907
The author; report a novel large spot size complex-coupled DFB laser,
without a mode converter and using an MQW core structure with a low ef
fective refractive index. It operates on a singlemode basis with an SM
SR as high as 40dB and a linewidth as narrow as 2MHz, and provides goo
d coupling characteristics into cleaved optical fibres. The device was
fabricated by a conventional buried heterostructure laser process and
the grating was provided by partly etching the well stack.
