Tunable DBR Laser for High-Speed Optical Switching
01 January 2000
An in-depth investigation of the high-speed temporal response of a two- section DBR-LD is presented. For the first time, a 554 ps DBR-LD response time is observed. Tuning times, 1.1-3.6 ns over seven ITU-spaced wavelengths, are linearly dependent on the tuning range.
