Abstract
Spectral linewidth reduction due to structural optimisation is studied in butt-jointed DBR lasers. It is theoretically shown that a laser structure with passive DBR regions on both sides of an active region is effective in reducing the linewidth.. Based on theoretical calculation, 1.5 mu m butt-joined DBR lasers are fabricated entirely by MOVPE growth. Linewidth is reduced to 580 kHz in structure-optimised 1.5 mu m butt-jointed DBR lasers.
