ABSTRACT:
A tunable semiconductor laser comprises a gain section having an MQW active region, a uniform pitch grating DFB region, and first waveguide. A composite reflector, including a second MQW region and a second waveguide, forms a cavity resonator with the DFB region. A tuning voltage applied to the composite reflector induces refractive index changes, thereby allowing the center wavelength to be altered. A dither signal applied the composite reflector broadens the spectrum of the laser output, thereby reducing SBS in fiber optic systems
