Abstract

This article demonstrates the application of highly efficient Fabry-Perot lasers to intra-office STM-16 fiber communication systems at the wavelength of 1.3 μm. Low power penalty of 0.05 dB through a 12 ps/nm fiber was measured at 25°C and 85°C. A low coupling loss of 1 dB of a laser to a cleaved SMF fiber is achieved. This device consists of an active stripe followed by a passive intracavity spot size converter. Subsequently, this paper demonstrates the feasibility of non-perturbing intracavity tapers through the application of selective area growth and their applicability to short haul optical systems
