Abstract
Widely tunable laser diodes based on the sampled-grating DBR structures are desirable components for Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed (DWDM) system implementation. They will also play an essential role in future all-optical networks by enabling the realization of optical cross connects (OXCs). The SGDBR lasers used in this work can be continuously tuned over a 40-nm wavelength range, have high side-mode suppression (>36-dB) over the whole tuning range, and the single-mode fiber power output is >4-mW.1
