“…By exploiting the QCSE for tuning of the TTG laser [37,45] no carriers are injected into the tuning region. Correspondingly no shot noise broadening occurs, so that the total spectrallinewidth can be kept small.…”

Single mode laser diodes with an electronically tunable wavelength are among the key components needed for advanced applications in optical communications, measurement and sensing. In particular, these devices may be used as wavelength controllable transmitters in wavelength division multiplexing or as local oscillators in optical receivers using the coherent detection technique. Furthermore, distance measurements with a high accuracy and large repetition frequency as well as threedimensional viewing are feasible using the frequency modulated continuous wave radar technique in the optical domain. Also numerous measurement techniques in optoelectronics and fiber optics can be performed by means of wavelength tunable lasers. This paper reviews the recent progress made on electronically wavelength tunable laser diodes in the InGaAsP material system at 1.5 11m wavelength. The operation principles and technological approaches of the various device concepts are presented and the laser parameters relevant for anticipated applications, such as tuning range, spectral linewidth and wavelength access, are discussed.The continuous and discontinuous tuning modes are introduced, compared and the physical limitations with respect to the maximum tuning ranges are commented on. Particular attention is paid to device handling and the effort needed for wavelength control which are most important for practical applications.

Photonic systems that transmit and process microwave-frequency analog signals have traditionally been encumbered by relatively large signal distortion and noise. Optical phase modulation (PM) and frequency modulation (FM) are promising techniques that can improve system performance. In this dissertation, I discuss an optical filtering approach to demodulation of PM and FM signals, which does not rely on high frequency electronics, and which scales in linearity with increasing photonic integration. I present an analytical model, filter designs and simulations, and experimental results using planar lightwave circuit (PLC) filters and FM distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) lasers. The linearity of the PM and FM photonic links exceed that of the current state-of-the-art.

“…Under this condition a wavelength range between 0.92 p m (InP) and 1.65 p m (Xno.53 G%. 47 As) can be covered. To date the InGaAsPAnP DH structures are routinely grown by various epitaxial techniques, such as liquid phase epitaxy (LPE), metal organic vapour phase epitaxy (MOVPE) or chemical beam epitaxy (CBE), onto InP substrates.…”

The development of high performance semiconductor laser diodes has played a key role in the rapid deployment of optical fiber communications, and the realisation of advanced system concepts strongly depends on the further improvement of the laser diodes. This includes the demand for wavelength tunable single frequency laser diodes as well as the need for optoelectronic integration. The different laser structures in the 1.3 and 1.5 μ m wavelength regions, their relevant parameters and applications are described in this paper. The impact of recent progresses in the material technology on the device performance is particularly investigated. It is further shown that the availability of low‐cost, highly complex integrated optoelectronic components represents a prerequisite for the introduction of optical communication systems in the subscriber area. The photonic and optoelectronic integrated circuits presented so far for bidirectional transmission, photonic switching and optical distribution are presented and the challenges for the future development are discussed.
