Abstract :
Mode competition in three section DBR tunable lasers is studied with a simple Fabry-Perot like description. The problem is analysed from the point of view of tunable laser applications in multicarrier communication systems. The maximum power for single mode operation and the switching between adjacent modes are discussed
