报道了一种InGaAs-GaAs非对称包层脊波导（RW）分布式布拉格反射器（DBR）激光器的设计和工作，该激光器可以工作在单波长模式和稳定的双波长模式下，具有可调谐的模式对分离。非对称包层RW-DBR激光器由一个传统的DBR激光器和一个附加的、独立的调谐接触板组成。当调谐DBR衬垫上没有电流时，激光器工作在单波长上；当调谐DBR衬垫上有电流时，激光器工作在双波长上。可以在各种调谐条件下实现小至/spl sim/13 nm和大至/spl sim/17 nm的可调谐模对分离。
The design and operation of an InGaAs-GaAs asymmetric cladding ridge waveguide (RW) distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser that can be operated in both a single-wavelength mode and a stable, dual-wavelength mode with tunable mode pair separation are reported. The asymmetric cladding RW-DBR laser consists of a conventional DBR laser with an additional, separate tuning contact pad over a part of the grating. The laser operates on a single-wavelength with no current applied to the tuning DBR pad, and dual-wavelength operation is achieved when current is applied to the tuning DBR pad. Tunable mode pair separations as small as /spl sim/13 nm and as large as /spl sim/17 nm can be achieved in various tuning conditions.
