Effect of Grating Structures and Mirror Positions on Characteristics of 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ DFB Lasers

1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$ DFB 레이저의 특성에 미치는 Grating구조와 Mirror 위치의 영향

In 1.55.mu.m DFB lasers with two non-AR mirrors, I have analyzed the effect of the sturctures of indes and/or gain gratings and mirror positions on the threshold gains, the lasing frequencies, and the beam profiles in longitudinal direction of lasers. I have obtained the optimum condition of static characteristics that ${\Delta}{\Omega}$(the phase difference betweeen index grating and gain grating is 3${\pi}$/4, $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=4~6 in case of $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=0.9 and $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=3~5 in case of $({\kappa}L)_{i}$=0.7. The modal selectivity and intensity uniformity of this optimum condition are 2~2.5 times better than those of the gain-coupled DFB lasers ${\Delta}{\Omega}$=0). The gain-coupled DFB lasers${\Delta}{\Omega}$=0) have 10$^{10) times better modal selectivity and intensity uniformity than the loss-coupled DFB lasers(TEX>${\Delta}{\Omega}$=${\pi}$).
