Abstract :
We have studied both theoretically and experimentally the detuned-loading effect of a fiber grating semiconductor laser. This effect is observed experimentally with a fiber grating semiconductor laser constructed with a single-angled facet diode and a conically lensed grating. Operation of such a laser is demonstrated at 2.5 Gb/s and good eye diagrams are obtained.
