Abstract
Fast wavelength switching of a two-section slotted FP laser structure is presented. The slot design enables operation at 5 discrete wavelength channels spaced by 10 nm by tuning one section of the device. These wavelengths operate with SMSR in excess of 35 dB, and a switching time of approximately 1ns is demonstrated.
