Yield analysis for high-speed 1310nm distributed feedback lasers

The paper presents an optimization analysis of the yield of high-speed 1310 nm distributed feedback lasers. Simulation results are showcased and design principles for achieving the highest possible yield of high-speed single mode devices with the side mode suppression ratio of more than 40 dB and the modulation bandwidth of over 20 GHz are outlined. The effects of the integrated Bragg grating characteristics and end-mirror reflectivities on the crucial parameters for high-speed operation are studied and guidelines for high-speed device fabrication are given.
