Design and Functionality
The diffraction grating in Distributed Feedback Laser (DFB) plays a crucial role in ensuring the laser emits at a single wavelength, which is essential for applications requiring high precision. The grating provides feedback at the lasing wavelength, while suppressing other modes, resulting in a high SMSR. This feature is particularly important for applications such as optical coherent tomography (OCT), where accurate and stable wavelength output is critical. The high SMSR minimizes noise, ensuring a cleaner signal, which enhances the overall performance of the laser.
