Abstract

The invention discloses a distributed feedback laser array composed of distributed feedback lasers which are arranged in parallel and made on an epitaxial wafer of a same semiconductor. The epitaxial wafer of the semiconductor at least comprises an upper coating layer, an active layer, a spacing layer, a refractive index control layer, a lower coating layer and a substrate. The active layer or the refractive index control layer is internally provided with bragg gratings forming distributed feedback. All layers above the refractive index control layer form upper table-boards of the distributed feedback lasers. The refractive index control layer forms guided wave structures of the distributed feedback lasers, and the widths of the guided wave structures of all the distributed feedback lasers in the array are different. Any distributed feedback laser in the distributed feedback laser array is composed of an upper electrode, an upper table-board, a guided wave structure, a substrate and a lower electrode. Due to the adoption of the guided wave structures with different widths, each distributed feedback laser is provided with the bragg gratings with the same period, and meanwhile, the lasing wavelength has a certain excursion. The array can be used as a multi-wavelength laser and a tunable laser.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a distributed feedback laser array, in particular to a distributed feedback laser array with tunable lasing wavelength and multi-wavelength lasing. Background technique [0002] The popularization and development of information technology make the requirements for network technology higher and higher, especially for bandwidth. The development of next-generation technologies such as dense wavelength division multiplexing and passive optical networks has raised the need for multi-wavelength light sources. Although multiple discrete lasers can meet the wavelength requirements, the discrete devices are independent of each other, and the working conditions of each device are quite different, which leads to the inability to guarantee the overall performance of the light source equipment in terms of stability and reliability. In this context, tunable lasers have significant advantages. One type of tunable laser affects the parameter...
