Abstract :
Summary form only given. Wavelength tunable semiconductor lasers are important components for use as optical transmitters in wavelength-division multiplexed communications systems. A promising structure to provide wide range tuning at 1.55 /spl mu/m is the four-section sampled grating DBR laser.
