Abstract

It is experimentally demonstrated that the increase in residual spectral linewidth during device degradation is due to an increase in 1/f noise in a multiple quantum-well (MQW) distributed-feedback (DFB) laser. The origin of 1/f noise and its influence on device characteristics is discussed and clarified by observing the degradation behavior of the spectral linewidth.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
