ABSTRACT:
A distributed feedback laser comprising a semiconductor body having a channel which varies in width in the laterial direction and is periodic in the longitudinal direction. When the laser is electrically excited constructive interference of reflected light gives rise to a stable single wavelength output due to the periodic variations in the channel.
