Abstract
Strained-layer MQW-DFB lasers at a wavelength of 1.3 micrometers operating from -40 degree(s)C to 85 degree(s)C without any coolers are demonstrated. On the basis of the leakage current analysis, a laser structure including the active layer and the current blocking layer is chosen to achieve low distortion over wide-temperature-range. Extremely low threshold current of 17 mA at 85 degree(s)C and operation current of 37 mA at 5 mW and 85 degree(s)C are obtained. The lasers realize low distortion of less than -50 dBc at 65 degree(s)C in 78-channel CSO measurements. Furthermore, a fabricated laser module with a coaxial package also achieved low CSO values of -55 dBc under 16-channel loading in the temperature range from -40 degree(s)C to 85 degree(s)C. This uncooled DFB laser module is very useful for return path application in CATV systems.
