Abstract
Future high density multiwavelength communication systems will require an ensemble of laser sources whose frequencies can be set accurately and maintained fixed in order to achieve long-term stability. Considering the excellent short-term frequency stability of today's DFB lasers,1 frequency control within closely spaced high bit rate optical carriers networks could be realized through periodic measurement and correction of free-running semiconductor lasers.
