摘要
The authors have investigated tunable distributed-feedback (DFB) lasers based on InGaAs quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Two-section tunable DFB lasers were fabricated by patterning laterally gain coupling binary superimposed gratings perpendicular to the ridge waveguide. Side-mode suppression ratios of up to 40 dB have been achieved. The tuning range covers 30 nm.
