Abstract
A novel tunable laser structure, based on Fabry-Perot lasers and fiber Bragg gratings with self-seeding operation, is proposed and experimentally investigated. The wavelength tuning can be obtained by properly adjusting the bias currents of FP lasers. The response time of wavelength switching of <6.8Â ns, a 3.38Â nm tuning range, and a side-mode suppression ratio of >23Â dB have been achieved experimentally. This proposed tunable laser has the advantages of simple architecture, potentially low cost, data direct modulation and fast wavelength switching.
