Abstract
DFB laser arrays with emitting wavelengths around l.55 μm are considered as desirable compact light sources for broadband optical networks based on high-density WDM (of the order of 1-2 nm in wavelength spacing).1 Such arrays may be placed in each central office to provide large data transmission for certain loop cases, e.g., down-stream digital video broadcasting, or inter-office networking, where erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) can be used to compensate losses.
