Effect of grating structures and mirror postions on characteristics of 1.55$\mu\textrm{m}$ DFB lasers-II

1.55.$\mu\textrm{m}$ DFB 레이저의 특성에 미치는 Grating 구조와 Mirror 위치의 영향 -II

The operating characteristics, such as, the threshold gain, lasing frequency, and longitudinal intensity profile, etc., of 1.55$\mu$m DFB laser diode with index and/or gain grating structures and with one side AR-coated mirror have been analyzed. From this analysis, the optimum design parameters have been shown that ${\Delta}{\Omega}$ (the phase difference between index grating and gain grating) is 0 or ${\pi}$, (xL)$_{r}$=1~3 and (xL)$_{i}$=0.5~0.9. It has been also shown that the modal selectivity and intensity uniformity of the DFB lasers with .DELTA..OMEGA.=0 are ~1.2 times better thatn those of the DFB lasers with ${\Delta}{\Omega}$= ${\pi}$.
