Abstract

Dual-wavelength semiconductor laser with wavelength separation as large as 203 nm is reported. With the short-wavelength mode located in 1345.4 nm and the long-wavelength mode in 1548.6 nm, the operation region of the laser system covers both the medium-wave band (1300 nm region) and long-wave band (1500 nm region) in optical communication. Random selection of oscillating wavelength position between 1345.4 nm and 1548.6 nm is also possible with fixed wavelength separation. This broadband laser system provides an opportunity for all-optical switching between the medium-wave band and long-wave band in optical communication.
