Abstract

This paper presents the results of a study of the spectral characteristics of commercial semiconductor lasers, using an optical spectral analyzer and a supply-and-control unit for the laser. Families of spectral characteristics are obtained in a wide range of injection currents and temperatures. The temperature and current coefficients for the wavelength of the laser radiation are determined.
