Abstract :
Aiming fast wavelength switching for the tunable distributed amplification (TDA-) DFB lasers, the transfer function is deduced from the transient response and then the feedforward controller is designed. Experimental results show that the wavelength can be accurately stabilized within 35 ns and 30 ns when the optical frequency changes from 192.8 THz to 193 THz and vice versa, respectively.
