Abstract
For the first time, distributed-feedback lasers emitting at 1625 nm with high output power and low operation current are fabricated. Temperature-induced performance degradation is minimised by optimising carrier and optical confinement. Consequently, these L-band lasers show no additional degradation in threshold current with rising temperature compared to C-band lasers.
