Abstract

The authors report a comparison of the self-pulsing characteristics of two types of semiconductor laser. They show that the self-pulsing frequency of the DFB laser is decoupled from the resonance frequency. They discuss the various characteristics, their significance in relation to optical synchronization, and use the results to suggest a possible explanation for the mechanism for self-pulsation in the DFB laser.
