Abstract

A novel method is developed to fabricate varied line-space corrugations to improve the characteristics of distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor lasers. Mechanically ruled grating patterns are transferred photolithographically to the surface of a semiconductor substrate by a contact mask aliner using the ultraviolet radiation of a He-Cd laser as a light source. The resultant varied line-space corrugation, like (lambda) /4-shift and corrugation-pitch modulation, improves the characteristics of distributed feedback lasers
