We investigate the effect in terms of yield of the reflectivity of both facets and of the phase of a phase tuning section on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics of multisection complex-coupled (CC) DFB lasers with self-pulsation frequency of the THz region. When the grating phases on both facets of a multisection CC DFB laser are fixed as 0, the variation of SP frequency increases as the reflectivity of both facets increases, while that of SP frequency decreases as the coupling ratio (CR) and the coupling strength increase. For the coupling strength of 3, the range of the phase of a phase tuning section with yields greater than 80% decreases as the CR and the reflectivity of both facets increases. For the coupling strength of 4, the range of the phase of a phase tuning section with yields greater than 80% increases as the CR and the reflectivity of both facets increases.

We calculate the facet reflectivity as a function of the waveguide width of buried channel waveguides using the angular spectrum method and the field profiles obtained by the effective index method, the variational method and the modified variational method, respectively and discuss the results. As the waveguide width increases, the facet reflectivity of buried channel waveguides approaches to that of slab waveguides. As the waveguide width decreases, the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode decreases from that of slab waveguides, while that of quasi-TE mode increases from that of slab waveguides. The variation of the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode as a function of waveguide width is much larger than that of quasi-TM mode. When the aspect ratio is one, the difference between the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode and that of quasi-TM mode using the variational method and the modified variational method is negligible, while the difference between the facet reflectivity of quasi-TE mode and that of quasi-TM mode using the effective index method is large. In the case of quasi-TE mode, the facet reflectivity using the angular spectrum method and the field profiles obtained by the modified variational method could be more accurate than that obtained by the effective method. In the case of quasi-TM mode, the facet reflectivities obtained by the various methods are almost the same.

본 인구에서는 직립 유공 케이슨에 현수판을 설치함으로서 입사파의 반사율을 저감시키고자 하였다. 먼저 케이슨 단면의 적정 유공율을 선정하기 위해 횡 SLIT 케이슨식 2개안 및 종 SLIT 1개안 단면에 대한 단면 실험을 실시하였다. 선행된 실험에서 가장 반사율이 낮은 SLIT 케이슨을 선택하여 유수실에 현수판을 설치 하였으며 현수판의 설치유무 및 현수판의 길이에 따른 반사계수를 검토하였다. 설치된 현수판은 장주기파에 대해서 반사율 저감효과를 얻을 수 없었지만 단주기 파에서는 반사율이 줄어드는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 해역에따라 단주기가 주류를 이루는 해역에서 현수판을 설치하면 파랑내습시 소파효과가 증대될 것으로 기대된다.

We have calculated the single mode yield of index-coupled (IC) DFB lasers above threshold for several kL, and facet reflectivity combinations, and investigated the correlation between those results and the single mode yield as a function of f number at the threshold. As a result, there is little correlation between the single mode yield above threshold and the single mode yield as a function of f number at the threshold. The single mode yields above threshold for kL of 0.8 and 1.25 is larger than those for kL, of 2 and 3 due to the spatial hole burning effect. Also, we have investigated the effect of the reflectivity of the AR facet on the single mode yield for AR-HR and AR-CL combinations. For AR-HR combinations, the single mode yield increases as the reflectivity of the AR facet decreases. However, for AR-CL combinations, the reflectivity of the AR facet for the largest single mode yield exists. In the single mode yield calculations for IC DFB lasers in this paper, the single mode yield for kL of 0.8 with AR(1％)-HR combination is largest above threshold.

We investigate the effect of the reflectivity of both facets and the phase of a phase tuning section on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics of multisection index-coupled (IC) DFB lasers composed of two index-coupled DFB sections and a phase tuning section between them in terms of yield. In the case of weak coupling strength, as the reflectivity of both facets increases, the effect of reflected fields from both facets and the other DFB section on the mode characteristics of one DFB section increases. Thus the number of mode hoping increases and yield decreases for the variation of phases of both facets. In the case of strong coupling strength, as the reflectivity of both facets increases, the spatial hole burning effect increases, so that the yield decreases. The maximum yield and the range of the phase of a phase tuning section with yield more than 40% decrease as the facet reflectivity increases irrespective of coupling strength. As the coupling strength increases, the variation of yield for the variation of the phase of a phase tuning section increases and the variation of the phase of a phase tuning section with the maximum yield for the variation of the reflectivity of both facets decreases. The yield characteristics of the cases with the coupling strengths of 2 and 3 are better than those with the coupling strengths of 1.2 and 4.

We have calculated the power extraction efficiency and the lasing wavelength distribution of complex-coupled(CC) DFB lasers above threshold for various｜$\chi$L｜ and facet reflectivity combinations, and we have compared the results with those at threshold. Also, we have investigated the effect of coupling coefficient ratio(CR) and the reflectivity of AR facet on the power extraction efficiency and the lasing wavelength distribution. At threshold, the single mode yield as a function of power extraction efficiency of in-phase(IP) CC DFB lasers is the same as that of anti-phase(AP) CC DFB lasers. Above threshold, however, the single mode yield as a function of power extraction efficiency of IP CC DFB lasers is much larger than that of AP CC DFB lasers. For IP CC DFB lasers, AR-HR combination has high single mode yield and large power extraction efficiency compared to other facet combinations. IP CC DFB laser with AR-HR combination for ｜$\chi$L｜of 0.8 has the highest single mode yield and largest power extraction efficiency above threshold among the cases considered. For AR-HR combination, as CR increases and the reflectivity of AR facet decreases, both single mode yield and power extraction efficiency increase due to the reduction of the spatial hole burning effect. For AR-HR combination, the lasing wavelength of CC DFB laser has distributed over the stopband of DFB. As CR increases, the lasing wavelength concentrates on the long wavelength side for IP CC DFB laser, while on the short wavelength side for AP CC DFB laser. As ｜$\chi$L｜ increases, the width of the wavelength distribution decreases and the lasing wavelength moves to the long wavelength side.

We have calculated the power extraction efficiency and the lasing wavelength distribution of index-coupled DFB lasers at threshold for various kL and facet reflectivity combinations, and compared with those above-threshold. The power extraction efficiency increases as the asymmetry of the facet reflectivities increases. The power extraction efficiency above-threshold is slightly larger than that at threshold. Since the relative photon density around the center region increases as kL increases, the power extraction efficiency decreases. The uniformity of the distribution of lasing wavelength over the stop band increases due to the relief of mode degeneracy as the asymmetry of the facet reflectivities increases. In the case of AR-HR combination, the lasing wavelength distributions at threshold are similar to those above-threshold. However, in the case of AR-AR combination, the lasing wavelength at threshold is concentrated on both edges of the stop band, while it is concentrated only on the longer wavelength edge above-threshold. As kL increases, the range of the lasing wavelength distribution increases due to the increase of the stop band. The effect of AR reflectivity on the power extraction and the lasing wavelength distribution is very weak.

We calculate the facet reflectivity of buried channel waveguides and ridge waveguides as a function of the waveguide width for various thicknesses using the angular spectrum method and the two dimensional field profiles obtained by the variational method (VM) and the effective index method (EIM). The variation of the reflectivity of buried channel waveguides as a function of the waveguide width is large, while that of ridge waveguides is very small. The accuracy of the field profiles necessary for the calculation of the facet reflectivity using the angular spectrum method greatly affects that of the facet reflectivity. The difference between the exact reflectivity and that using EIM increases as the waveguide width and thickness decreases due to the inaccuracy of the field profiles obtained by EIM. However, the difference between the exact reflectivity and that using VM is smaller than that using EIM regardless of waveguide width and thickness. The difference between the facet reflectivities u sing EIM and VM is small in the area where the EIM works very well.

The effect of the reflectivity of both facets and the phase of a phase tuning section on the self-pulsation (SP) characteristics of multisection complex-coupled (CC) DFB lasers is investigated in terms of yield. The lasers are composed of two CC DFB sections and a phase tuning section between them. As the coupling strength and the coupling ratio (CR) decrease, the effect of the reflected fields from both facets and the other DFB section on the mode characteristics of one DFB section increases, so that the yield decreases. As the facet reflectivity increases, the maximum yield and the range of the phase of a phase tuning section with yield more than 60% decrease independent of the coupling strength and CR. The yield characteristics of CR=0.2 are better than those of CR=0.1 with the same coupling strength due to the larger complex coupling effect. The case with ${\mid}{\kappa}L{\mid}=3$ and CR=0.2 shows best yield characteristics among the cases considered in this work.
