Corrugation-pitch-modulated DFB semiconductor lasers realized by common holographic exposure

Experimental results of corrugation-pitch-modulated (CPM) DFB lasers with distributed phase shift (DPS) based on reconstruction-equivalent-chirp (REC) technique are demonstrated. The DPS can flatten the light intensity distribution along the laser cavity and reduce the spatial hole burning (SHB). The lasers have good single longitudinal mode (SLM) property even under high injection current. Thanks to the sampling technique, the grating can be easily fabricated by holographic exposure and conventional lithograph.
