| Abstract: | The improvement of the linewidth enhancement factor in complex-coupled laser diode (CC-LD), or loss-coupled, was confirmed by measuring the spontaneous emission spectra below threshold from the sidewall of laser diodes. In addition, the serial resistance of the device was measured. The linewidth enhancement factor is improved by the presence of a light absorbing InGaAs grating for loss coupled distributed-feedback (DFB) laser diode (LD). We report the comparison of the linewidth enhancement factors of Fabry-Perot (FP) LD, conventional DFB-LD, and loss coupled DFB-LDs |
