The effects of the longitudinal spatial hole burning on the static lasing characteristics of a specific configuration of distributed-feedback semiconductor laser with three phase-shift regions are investigated using a numerical approach. A serious degradation of the stability of the optimum design, having the flattest axial intensity distribution at low output power, is predicted for drive levels beyond a critical value. The lasing wavelength exhibits a sudden shift (wavelength chirping), along with a significant degradation of the single-mode character of the longitudinal-mode spectrum. Thus, the potentialities of this multiple-phase-shift structure to provide a stable narrow-linewidth emission at high output power appear to be less than expected from results calculated for the near-threshold regime. Nevertheless, it is found that a multiple-phase-shift configuration that departs slightly from the optimum case suffices to recover most of the promises expected from this distributed-feedback laser design.

Wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) lightwave transmission systems and wavelength-division (WD) photonic switching systems are attractive for improvement in line capacity for lightwave telecommunication services, because they utilize a huge wavelength (frequency) domain as signal channels. Wavelength tunable optical filters are key devices for these WDM and WD systems in direct detection scheme. In particular, semiconductor wavelength tunable optical filters are suitable for monolithic integration with photonic devices such as semiconductor lasers, switches and detectors. Also, the switching speed of wavelength is faster than that of other optical filters. This paper briefly summarizes the state-of-the-art semiconductor wavelength tunable optical filters and their applications to WD photonic switching systems.
