Abstract
By taking into account the practical constraints put on the bias current of a stripe geometry laser, we have calculated the minimum linewidth of a InGaAsP/InP phase-shifted distributed feedback laser, corresponding to the maximum available output power. We have obtained plots useful for the design of optimised structures showing that high coupling coefficients are not always desirable.
