摘要
In this letter, we propose and analyze a new distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) laser structure that exhibits superior side-mode suppression when compared to the well-known DBR laser. This is achieved by introducing a strong asymmetry in the reflectivity of the DBR section and results in a high (> 36 dB), and ideally constant, side-mode suppression ratio as the laser is tuned. This asymmetry in reflectivity can be achieved by nonlinearly chirping the local spatial frequency of a regular (periodic) Bragg grating.
