Some degradation modes of 1.3 and 1.55 μm buried heterostructure distributed feedback (DFB) lasers grown by liquid-phase epitaxy are clarified. A degradation mode induced by the inhomogeneous optical-field distribution along the laser cavity is found to exist in DFB lasers. In most DFB lasers, the interface degradation between first growth-step (double heterostructure) layers and second growth-step (burying) layers occurs in the same manner as Fabry–Perot lasers.
