In this paper, we experimentally demonstrate a self-seeding FP-LD (Fabry Perot Laser Diode) to verify the possibility of a new tunable light source that can be used in WDM-PON (Wavelength Division Multiplexing - Passive Optical Network) system. The conventional implementation of WDM-PON using a tunable light source has a disadvantage that the center wavelength of the AWG (Arrayed Waveguide Grating) device and the tunable light source must be precisely aligned. However, the proposed tunable light source has the advantage that the tunable wavelength is automatically aligned with the center wavelength of the AWG as well as simple structure. The implemented tunable light source had a tunable band of about 14 nm or more, and the maximum RIN (Relative Intensity Noise) of about -124 dB/Hz, which showed the possibility of modulating 10 Gb/s signal by an external modulator.

There is a considerable interest in tunable DFB-LD for their use in OFDM and coherent optical communications. In this paper, A modeling of ${\lambda}/4$-shifted tunable wavelength three electrode DFB-LD was performed considering the spatial hole burning within a laser diode cavity. The modeling will show design paramenters' requirement for high-speed and broad bandwidth lasers. The simulations of modeling prove that the continuous tuning range is about 3nm and the SMSR is about several dB. We showed that the optical power and carrier density distribution along z for several dc current with SHB. It was shown that prove that optical power and carrier density along cavity are changed and thismeans that modeling is correct.

In this paper, we performed the modeling of a tunable three section DFB-LD with continuous phase using the coupled-wave equation. It was also proposed new modeling method for ${\lambda}/4$ phase shifted one. We got the characteristics of oscillation wavelength, gain, and photon density profiles according to parameters such as coupling coefficient K and current into the third sections for two case of continuous phase and ${\lambda}/4$ shifted phase one. The simulations for ${\lambda}/4$ phase shifted tunable three section DFB-LD prove that the continuous tuning range is about 4.2nm for $K=120cm^{-1}$, $L=180{\mu}m$, and the oscillation mode be within the stop-bands. Also when changed a current of both end sections, it is shown that a photon density reaches the maximum at the center.

We present the fabrication and measured performance of a wavelength tunable Butt coupled DBR-LD. An average coupling efficiency between active layer and passive waveguide layer was measured over 85％per facet, and the average threshold current was 21 ㎃ for the waveguide integrated DBR laser. High output power of Butt coupled DBR-LD was obtained over 25 ㎽. As high as 25 ㎽ of output power was achieved by the butt coupled method. The maximum wavelength tuning range is about 7.4 nm, and the side mode suppression ratio was more than 40 ㏈ using 1.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ InGaAsP waveguide layer.

A new wavelength tunable laser source based on a self-seeded F-P LD for a WDM-PON system has been proposed in this paper. The proposed laser source has a merit of the wavelength tunable range of approximately 20 nm with very simple setup. The measured minimum relative intensity noise(RIN) was approximately -124 dB/Hz and the possibility of 10 Gb/s external modulation was showed.

In this paper, we described the fabrication and the performance of wavelength tunable distributed bragg reflector (DBR) laser diode (LD), having different waveguide coupling mechanisms; integrated-twin-guide (ITG) DBR-LD and butt coupled (BT) DBR-LD. This deviceis fabricated by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) growth and planar buried heterostructure (PBH)-type transverse current confinement structure. The result of measurement, the optical performance of BT-DBR-LD is better over 2 times than that of ITG-DBR-LD at the variation of threshold current and output power, and slop efficiency due to the higher coupling efficiency of the butt coupled structure than the integrated twin guide structure. The maximum wavelength tuning range is about 7.2nm for ITG DBR-LD and 7.4nm for BT DBR-LD. Both types of lasers have a very high yield of single mode operation with a side-mode suppression ratio of more than 35dB.

In this paper, a wavelength tunable light source based on mutually injected locking with two F-P LDs, has been constructed and then analyzed for wavelength shift and RIN (Relative Intensity noise) according to temperature. We have measured maximum about 2 nm for the wavelength shift and minimum -110dB/hz for the RIN. Also, the RIN and beating noise in eye patterns are increased by changing temperature high.

We present the fabrication and performance of wavelength tunable butt coupled (BT) sampled-grating (SG) distributed bragg reflector (DBR) - planar buried heterostructure (PBH) laser diodes (LD). The fabricated LD showed the high optical output power due to the high coupling efficiency between active and passive components by the BT coupling methods. The series resistance and diode ideality factor of LD were measured to be 3.7 $\Omega$ and 1.35, respectively. The average threshold current was 25 ㎃. The output powers of BT-SG DBR-PBH-LD were obtained to be as high as 12.3 and 24.56 ㎽ at 100 and 200 ㎃, respectively. The maximum wavelength tuning range was about 31 nm and the side mode suppression ratio was about 37 dB.
