Abstract
An axial distributed coupling coefficient (ADCC) distributed feedback (DFB) laser diode (LD) in which
the coupling coefficient (K) has been distributed axially on both sides of the phase shift region. The effects of
injection current on the normalized gain amplitude, normalized detuning coefficient and the output power are
investigated using transfer matrix method. The results show that the ADCC DFB laser exhibits high single
mode stability at different injection currents above threshold and the main mode operates close to Bragg
wavelength at high injected current. For different injection currents the optical output power has been
increased with decreased the coupling coefficient.
