Abstract

The tunable ridge waveguide distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers designed for wavelength-division-multiplex (WDM) communication systems at 1.55 micrometers by using selective area growth is reported. The threshold current of the DBR laser is 62 mA and the output power is more than 8 mW. The isolation resistance between the active region and the Bragg region is 30 K(Omega) . The total tuning range is 6.5 nm and this DBR laser can provide 6 continuous standard WDM channels with 100 GHz channel spacing; in the tuning range, the single mode suppression ratio is maintained more than 32 dB and the maximum output power variation is less than 3 dB.
