Abstract
It is shown that two-section gain-coupled DFB lasers with large section lengths and weak distributed feedback coupling exhibit a self-pulsation tuning range greater than reported previously. The phase noise of a sideband injection locked self-pulsation is measured and the jitter introduced by the self-pulsing laser found to be negligible
