Abstract
The authors demonstrate wavelength switching in a novel multicavity distributed Bragg reflector semiconductor laser diode. This new device, which uses an integrated saturable absorber and singlemode fibre Bragg gratings, digitally switches wavelength as a function of drive current between all possible binary combinations.Keywords
