Abstract
A corrugation-pitch-modulated phase-shifted distributed feedback (DFB) laser is proposed to reduce the spatial-hole-burning effect along the laser cavity. The structure of the proposed corrugation-pitch-modulated phase-shifted DFB laser is illustrated. A reduction in this effect is confirmed from its spectral behavior as a function of driving current. Consequently, stable single-longitudinal-mode operation up to high-output powers is obtained.<>
