Abstract
By controlling optical loss in a multiple cavity laser, it is possible to sequentially switch the lasing wavelength with a mode suppression ratio greater than -35 dB. Our experiments use an antireflection coate d semiconductor laser diode with optical feedback from Bragg gratings embedded in a single mode fiber. Residual reflectivity from the antire flection coating plays a critical role in determining device operation . (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
