Abstract :
We have developed a model of frequency modulated distributed feedback laser with intracavity phase modulator and have shown that it can operate in two different regimes, only one of which has good frequency-modulated (FM) response. We have identified the combination of the laser parameters that forces laser to operate in high FM efficiency regime. The results of our initial experiments support these conclusions.
