Abstract
A theoretical model for simulating widely tunable sampled-grating
distributed Bragg reflector (SGDBR) lasers has been developed. The model
integrates both time-domain traveling-wave method and frequency-domain
transfer-matrix method into a single procedure. The active region of the
device is still operated in the conventional time domain, while the passive
parts are firstly performed by the transfer-matrix method and then
transformed to the time domain via digital filters. Both the static and
dynamic characteristics of SGDBR lasers, such as L–I curve, output spectrum, tuning characteristics, large-signal
modulation, and dynamic wavelength switching, can be clearly visible in our
model and in qualitative agreement with the published experimental
results.
