Abstract

Based on the transfer matrix method, by which the limitations of Lang-Kobayashi model and equivalent cavity model can be partly overcome, the output characteristics of the apodized fiber grating diode lasers (FGLs) have been theoretically investigated. The results show that with the change of the maximum of the refractive index modulation depth Δn0, both the number and the location of the modes will vary; under certain parameters, single mode operation with the side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) more than 40dB can be achieved.
