Abstract :
Summary form only given. Intensity oscillations in multi-section semiconductor laser diodes have been investigated for applications such as all-optical clock recovery and microwave fiber-optic links. Self-pulsation of laser intensity has been observed in both bulk and quantum-well laser diodes as well as in both Febry-Perot and distributed feedback (DFB) type laser diodes. We report here the first observation of widely tunable self intensity oscillations in multi-section gain-coupled DFB lasers.
