Abstract

By using the coupled mode equations, the dynamic characteristics of λ/4 phase-shifted distributed feedback laser diode with distributed coupling coefficient (QWS-DCC-DFB) is analyzed. The numerical simulation indicates that, compared with purely QWS-DFB laser, the better dynamic single-mode can be achieved by QWS-DCC-DFB laser; Under the smaller biasing current, the modulation band-width is narrower, this difference shrinks for larger biasing current; For large-signal modulation, the distributed coupling coefficient is helpful to increase the output extinction ratio, but worsens the wavelength chirping. The good dynamic characteristic can be obtained by selecting system parameters reasonably. QWS-DCC-DFB laser would have potentials in optics communications because of better dynamic SMSR.
