“…There has been an increasing demand to extend the operating temperature range of un-cooled DFB lasers [1][2][3][4]. This was in part fueled by the rapid development and massive deployment of FTTP/FTTH networks.…”
Single mode operation of 1310nm DFB lasers over a record wide temperature range, from -70 °C to 110 °C, has been demonstrated. Less than 2dB optical power variation was realized over most of the temperature range.

“…We have thus far demonstrated wide-temperature-range operation of 1310nm DFB lasers with very low threshold and good linearity. [1][2][3][4] They were originally aimed at targeting broadband cable-television return paths, 1 but have since been expanded to also include gigabit passive optical-network (G-PON) lasers 2 at operational temperatures from −70 to + 110 • C. We recently also presented 4 wide-temperature-range functionality (from −45 to +125 • C) for 1490nm DFB lasers. Our latest laser systems 2-4 operate at data rates of 2.5Gb/s or higher.…”
High-performance single-mode operation of 1310 and 1490nm distributed-feedback lasers has been achieved over temperature spans of 180 and 170 • C, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
