Abstract

See full text

An external cavity laser assembly includes an external chirped exit reflector configured to reduce changes in reflectivity, thereby improving linearity. The chirped exit reflector may be configured to provide a reflectivity profile with a substantially flat peak portion, for example, as compared to the reflectivity profile of a uniform period fiber Bragg grating. The chirped exit reflector may also be configured such that an optical cavity length of the external cavity laser is shorter for higher wavelengths, thereby reducing wavelength fluctuations and changes in reflectivity caused by wavelength fluctuations.
