Design and performance of a complex-coupled DFB laser with sampled grating

A complex-coupled DFB laser with sampled grating has been designed and fabricated. The method uses the + 1 st order reflection of the sampled grating for laser single-mode operation. The typical threshold current of the sampled grating based DFB laser is 25 mA, and the optical output is about 10 mW at the injected current of 100 mA. The lasing wavelength of the device is 1.5385μm, which is the +1 st order wavelength of the sampled grating.

A complex-coupled DFB Laser with sampled grating has been designed and fabricated. The key concepts of the approach are to utilize the +1st order reflection of the sampled grating for laser single mode operation, and use a conventional holographic exposure combined with the usual photolithography to fabricate the sampled grating. The typical threshold current of the sampled grating based DFB laser is 25mA, and the optical output is about 10mW at the injected current of 100mA. The lasing wavelength of the device is 1.5385μm, which is the +1st order wavelength of the sampled grating.
