Abstract
High-relfection (HR)-coated facet effects on the spectral characteristics of a three-section distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) tunable laser are investigated theoretically, in which the output power emits to the DBR section. It is found that the output power to the DBR sectionPDBR compared to the cleaved facet output powerP0 is nearly constant to some degree with increasing tuning current. Owing to the high-Q resonator, the HR-coated DBR laser showed a decrease in spectral linewidth. However, there is still linewidth broadening of the HR-coated DBR laser even though the rate of increase is smaller than that of the cleaved-facet DBR laser. In the case of output power emission to the DBR section, it is thought that the HR-coated effect can overcome the decrease in output power under frequency tuning, which is one of the most important drawbacks of DBR laser performance.
