Abstract
A statistical yield analysis is presented for gain- and index-coupled distributed feedback (DFB) laser structures, allowing a comparison of their single longitudinal mode (SLM) yield capabilities. For the yield calculations, the threshold gain difference and the longitudinal spatial hole burning (SHB) are taken into account. By comparing the experimental and theoretical yield of index-coupled DFB lasers, the significance of SHB for correct yield predictions is illustrated. For the purpose of comparison, yield calculations for various lambda /4-shifted DFB lasers (with low facet reflectivities) are presented. The most emphasis, however, is on partly gain-coupled DFB lasers. Estimations of practical gain coupling coefficient values for gain and for loss gratings are discussed. >
