Abstract :
We proposed an asymmetric sampled grating laser for an MLA. As expected in the theoretical calculation, it was confirmed experimentally that lasing action took place at the-1st order reflection wavelength by the control of sampled gratings combined with the index shifter. A 4-channel laser array was realized which was composed of asymmetric sampled grating lasers of different sampling periods.
