A widely tunable SG-DFB (Sampled Grating Distributed Feedback) laser diode is proposed and its feasibility is confirmed through simulation. The new SG-DFB laser diode is composed of a pair of sampled gratings, some parts of which are gain sections and the other parts of which are phase control sections. It is shown that a few tens of nanometers can be tuned through the adjustment of two currents into the phase control sections. Higher output power is expected compared with a SG-DBR laser diode with similar parameters. The dynamic single mode operation is also observed in the time-domain simulation.

We have investigated the effect of the quality of 1.3 um distributed feed back laser diode (DFB-LD) on the design of anti-reflection (AR) coatings. Optimal condition of AR coating to prevent internal feedback from both facets and reduce the reflection-induced intensity noise of laser diode was simulated with Macleod Simulator. Coating materials used in this work were ${Ti_3}{O_5}$ and $SiO_2$, of which design thickness were 105 nm and 165 nm, respectively. AR coating films were deposited by Ion-Assisted Deposition system. The electrical and optical properties of 1.3 um laser diode were characterized by Bar tester and Chip tester. Threshold current and slop-efficiency of DFB-LD were 27.56 mA 0.302 W/A. Far field pattern and wavelength of DFB-LD were $22.3^{\circ}(Horizontal){\times}24.4^{\circ}$ (Vertical), 1313.8 nm, respectively.

A refractive index modulated (RIM) DFB laser, in which the refractive index of a center region of the upper cladding layer comprising the grating region is different from that of side regions, is proposed to obtain and effective ${\lambda}$/4 phase shift in the center region. Since the coupling coefficient of a center region in a RIM-DFB laser is larger than that of side regions, a RIM-DFB laser has the effect of a distributed coupling coefficient. Simulation results show that RIM-DFB lasers have better operation characteristics - more uniform photon density profile, less SHB effect, and better single mode operation at high injection currents - compared to those of ${\lambda}$/4 phase-shifted DFB lasers and CPM-DFB lasers. In addition, the effect of the center region on the above threshold characteristics of a RIM-DFB laser is investigated.

We fabricated and characterized RWG-DFB-LDs emitting at $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$ wavelength. For fabrication of the laser diode, inteference fringe of optical beams was used for grating formation and epi layers were grown by LPE. The fablicated RWG-DFB-LD operated in a single longitudinal mode with more than 30 dB SMSR at 1296.5 nm emitting wavelength and its threshold current was 67 mA. Coupling coefficient (K) was estimated as $40cm^{-1}$ by means of stop-band measurement. Finally, we show that the RWG-DFB-LD fabricated in this experiment can be applicable as light source of 2.5 Gbps optical communication system from the fact that the small signal response of the RWG-DFB-LD rated up to 1.99 GHz at pre-bias level of $1.2 I_{th}$..

In this paper, modeling for DC and AC characteristics analysis of DFB-LD was performed considering effects of .lambda./4-shifted gratingandspatial hole burning within a laser diode cavity. From the simulation for DC characteristics, Light-Current curve, optical power distribution and carrier density distribution within the cavity can be obtained. The simulation for AC characteristics porovides IM response and the amplitude and phase and the amplitude and phase response of FM with excellent accuracy.

Periodic gratings for 1.55$\mu$m distributed feedback laser diode (DFB LD) have been fabricated by a holographic interference exposure system using an etalon stabilized Ar ion laser. We obtain a good development condition at developer concentration of 65% and obtain etching rate of 1000$\AA$/min at 20.deg. C by the mixed solution HBr:HNO$_{3}$:H$_{2}$O(1:1:10 in volume ratio). We obtain good first order grating with period of 2400${\AA}[\pm}2{\AA}$ at etching time of 45 sec from grating period and diffraction efficiency measurement, and SEM observation of grating fabricated on InP substrate.

A dual-mode laser terahertz source consisting of two in-line distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser diodes (LD) is proposed. It is less susceptible to residual reflections from facets than an in-line dual-mode distributed feedback (DFB) LD. The characteristics of the proposed terahertz source are theoretically investigated using a split-step time-domain simulation. It is shown that terahertz waves of frequencies from 385 GHz to 1725 GHz can be generated by appropriate thermal tuning of two DBR LDs. The dual-mode DBR LD terahertz source exhibits good spectral quality for residual facet reflectivity below 0.02, but facet reflectivity of the in-line dual-mode DFB LD terahertz source should be below 0.002 to provide similar spectral quality.

A self-pulsating multisection distributed-feedback laser diode (DFB LD) can potentially realize all-optical clock extraction. This device generally consists of three sections, two DFB sections and one waveguide section. The most important variable in this device is detuning, which is the relative spectral position between the stop bands of two DFB sections. We fabricated a novel structure in which two gratings were located one over and one under the active layers. Each grating structure was independently defined in processing so that detuning, which is the prerequisite for self-pulsation, could be easily controlled. Observing various self-pulsating phenomena in these devices under several detuning conditions, we characterized the phenomena as dispersive Q-switching, mode beating, and self-mode-locking.
