Title :
Reduction of the tuning time of 1.5-μm three-section DBR lasers by controlling the transient currents
Abstract :
A dynamical simulation model for three-section DBR laser is extended to analyse the thermal effect under continuous tuning. A new method to compensate the thermal drifts is implemented, and we have simulated a nonintrusive wavelength tuning, with and without mode jumping
