Abstract

Recent progress in the integrated optics lasers especially for the dynamic-single-mode (DSM) semiconductor lasers with distributed structures are reviewed. The DSM laser is developed as light sources with pure spectrum even under the dynamic operation for the wide-band optical fiber communication in the lowest loss wavelength region of l. 5μm, in which the techniques in the integrated optics are utilized. It consists of a mode selective resonator and a trarrsverse-mode-control led waveguide, such as the narrow-striped distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) or distributed feedback (DFB), so as to maintain a fixed axial-mode under the rapid direct-modulation.
