Leakage and Bragg condition of optical waveguide with asymmetric rectangular grating profile are evaluated in detail by using novel and rigorous modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on eigenvalue problem. The optical waveguide composed by asymmetric rectangular grating occur leaky-wave stop-bands at Bragg conditions, and anomalies based on Rayleigh-Wood condition near Bragg conditions. Furthermore, DFB properties of the guiding structure at Bragg conditions are analyzed by applying longitudinal equivalent transmission-line with characteristic impedance of periodic grating. The numerical results show that filtering characteristics that maximize the reflected power of DFB waveguide are activated near Bragg conditions, in which leaky-wave stop-bands occur.

In this paper, when a refractive index grating and a gain grating are simultaneously present in a DFB (Distributed Feedback) laser for a 1.55 um wavelength with two mirror surfaces without an anti-reflective coating, an analysis program was developed to determine the beam distribution of the oscillation mode in the longitudinal direction. As the phases of the index and gain gratings on the mirror faces are varied, the lasing gain and the beam profiles |R(z)| and |S(z)| of the lasing mode with the emitted power ratio P_l/P_r are analyzed and examined in case of δL<0. In order to reduce the threshold current of a oscillation mode and enhance the frequency stability, κL should be greater than 8, regardless of the grating phase values at the mirror surface.

We evaluate the optical characteristics of planar distributed feedback (DFB) waveguides with quarter-wavelength phase-shifter. To analyze explicitly its band-pass and resonance properties, we present and newly develop a modal transmission-line theory (MTLT) based on Floquet's theorem and Babinet's principle. The numerical results reveal that this approach offers a simple and analytic algorithm to analyze either the filtering or the oscillating characteristic of DFB gratings with quarter-wavelength phase-shifter, and has a novel physical insight that may not be achieved in other approximating approaches

We derive analytic expressions for the spontaneous emission spectrum (SES) of a multisection distributed feedback (DFB) structure device employing complex coupled gratings including the effects of both facets reflections. The multisection DFB structure device used in the analysis is a general model which allows the independent phase of a grating in each section, and the sections without gratings. The expressions are the same as those derived by makino and glinski in case the gratings are index coupled and the phase of a grating in each section, ${\varphi}_k$ is '0' which means the phase of gratings in the device is ocntinuous. The expressions for the SES of a phase-shift-controlled (PSC) DFB structure device using tunable devices are derived from the general expressions. The number of parametes of the expressions is reduced by using the parameter of effective phase shift defined by the sum of the phase shift in a PSC region and the difference of the phase of a grating in each active region. Equations showing the effect of both facets reflections and the effective phase shift on the SES are derived. The validaty of the equations is verified by computer simultions. Computer simulation results also show the possibility of evaluating the structure parametes of the device from its SES.

Effects of the correlated random fluctuation in each grating half-period have been studied by an effective index transfer matrix method in quarter wavelength shifted DFB lasers. As the correlation coefficient changes from 0 to -1, single mode stability and wavelength accuracy are less degraded by the reduced error in the grating period. This fact shows that holographic grating fabrication is better than electron-beam lithography in discrete device fabrication provided that the magnitude of the random fluctuation is the same.

As the demand of internet networks using backbone communication systems recently increased, the researches on the high-speed wideband optical communication systems are required. For high-speed optical communication systems, asymmetric sampled grating distributed feedback laser diodes (DFB-LDs) are developed and the reliability of DFB-LDs is examined. The reliability of DFB-LDs is performed by monitoring I-V and L-I characteristics and two degradation phenomena related to the electrical characteristics of LDs are observed during the life tests. The first degradation phenomenon by increasing the reverse current is considered as a formation of leakage current path enough to prevent lasing operation in lateral blocking layer near active region of lasers. The second degradation phenomenon by decreasing the forward current is considered as activation of non-radiative Auger recombination process by thermal energy and the second degradation phenomenon is recovered after the off-test period at room temperature Eventually, evaluating the reliability of DFB LDs can allow us to improved the manufacturability in high-volume manufacturing.
