1.55 μm DFB laser array with λ/4-shifted first-order gratings fabricated by X-ray lithography

Abstract
First-order grating patterns (λ = 0.24 μm) with λ/4-shift for DFB laser array were successfully fabricated by X-ray lithography. The 20-DFB laser array operated in the single longitudinal mode and the wavelength varied as designed.
