Abstract
Results of an analysis of gain saturation in distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with end reflectors are presented. The dependence of the gain and frequency-shift eigenvalues of DFB lasers on the properties of end reflectors is reduced by gain-saturation effects. The degree of gain saturation is sensitive to the reflector properties if the distributed feedback and the reflections from the ends are of approximately equal strength.
