Abstract

We have calculated the single mode yield of index-coupled (IC) DFB lasers above threshold for several kL, and facet reflectivity combinations, and investigated the correlation between those results and the single mode yield as a function of f number at the threshold. As a result, there is little correlation between the single mode yield above threshold and the single mode yield as a function of f number at the threshold. The single mode yields above threshold for kL of 0.8 and 1.25 is larger than those for kL, of 2 and 3 due to the spatial hole burning effect. Also, we have investigated the effect of the reflectivity of the AR facet on the single mode yield for AR-HR and AR-CL combinations. For AR-HR combinations, the single mode yield increases as the reflectivity of the AR facet decreases. However, for AR-CL combinations, the reflectivity of the AR facet for the largest single mode yield exists. In the single mode yield calculations for IC DFB lasers in this paper, the single mode yield for kL of 0.8 with AR(1％)-HR combination is largest above threshold.

Index-coupled(IC) DFB 레이저에서 여러 가지 kL과 양 단면 반사율 조합에 대하여 문턱 전류 이상에서 주입 전류에 따른 단일 모드 수율을 구하였고 그 결과를 문턱 전류에서 f number에 따른 단일 모드 수율과의 관련성에 대하여 검토하였다. 그결과 문턱 전류 이상에서 단일 모드 수율과 문턱 전류에서 f number에 따른 단일 모드 수율과의 관련성이 매우 적음을 알수 있었다. 문턱 전류 이상에서 kL이 0.8과 1.25인 경우가 kL이 2와 3인 경우에 비하여 SHB 현상이 작아 단일 모드 수율이 큼을 알 수 있었다 또한 양 단면 반사율 조합이 AR-HR과 AR-CL에 대하여 AR 단면의 반사율이 단일 모드 수율에 미치는 영향에 대하여 살펴보았다. 양 단면 반사율 조합이 AR-HR인 경우 AR단면의 반사율이 작을수록 단일 모드 수율은 크게 나타났다. 반면에 AR-CL의 경우 최대의 단일 모드 수율을 나타내는 최적의 AR단면의 반사율이 존재하였다. 본 논문에서 수행한 IC DFB 레이저의 단일 모드 수율 계산에서는 kL이 0.8이고 양 단면 반사율 조합이 AR(1%)-HR인 경우가 문턱전류 이상에서 단일 모드 수율이 가장 컸다.
