Tuning-current splitting network for three-sectionDBR lasers

Abstract
A simple current-splitting network for DBR-laser frequency tuning is proposed that distributes a single control current among two tuning sections and can adjust the current distribution without yielding impedance mismatching. The nonlinear characteristics of the tuning sections realise the non-proportional current splitting suitable for continuous tuning; 470 GHz (3.8 nm) tuning range is achieved.
