Abstract
We describe a protocol for assessing aging in the tuning section of a multi
section distributed Bragg reflector laser integrated with amplifier, tap co
upler, and electro-absorption modulator. Under accelerated aging, we observ
e a transient change of nonradiative recombination followed by saturation.
A simple model of aging of the Bragg section of the tunable lasers enables
prediction of changes in each wavelength channel using information obtained
from a single channel only.
