  • Abstract
    The linear coupled-wave analysis of a distributed-feedback laser is presented for nonzero reflectivity at the ends of the lasing medium. Numerical results are given for the case of real coupling coefficients and the threshold behavior, as the reflectivity effects dominate, is described.
