Narrow-stripe distributed reflector lasers with first-order vertical grating and distributed Bragg reflectors

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Narrow-stripe 1.55-μm wavelength distributed reflector lasers consisting of both distributed Bragg reflectors and vertical grating of the first Bragg order were fabricated. A low threshold current I/sub th/ of 2.8 mA, a differential quantum efficiency /spl eta//sub d/ of 28% from the front facet, and a submode suppression ratio of 44 dB were obtained for structures with a stripe width of 1.3 μm and a cavity length of 150 μm.
