Abstract :
We have measured the effects of feedback on the spectra of 1.5-μm DFB lasers from feedback power ratios as low as -80 dB up to -8 dB. Five distinct regimes of effects are observed with well defined transitions between them. The dependence of these effects on the distance to the reflection is also investigated.
