Abstract

Single-frequency operation of 1.5- mu m semiconductor lasers was obtained by combining a regular Fabry-Perot laser to an external waveguide Bragg reflector. The laser is characterized by very pure single-frequency operation, 10-MHz linewidth, and greatly-reduced frequency chirp under direct modulation. The laser has been tested in 1.7-Gb/s transmission experiments over 82.5 km of fiber.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
