TLDR
In this article, the nonlinear properties of a distributed feedback grating in a waveguide characterized by a diffusive thermal nonlinearity were investigated experimentally, and all-optical tuning of the reflectivity was achieved either by a guided wave incident onto the distributed feedback gating near its Bragg condition, or by a second guided beam tuned far from the Bragg conditions.Abstract:
The nonlinear properties of a distributed feedback grating in a waveguide characterized by a diffusive thermal nonlinearity were investigated experimentally. Reflection and transmission were measured in an InSb planar structure, and all‐optical tuning of the reflectivity was achieved either by a guided wave incident onto the distributed feedback grating near its Bragg condition, or by a second guided beam tuned far from the Bragg condition.read more

Effect of chirped gratings on reflective optical bistability in DFB semiconductor laser amplifiers
Drew N. Maywar,Govind P. Agrawal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, spatial chirp of the built-in grating was used to improve optical bistability on reflection from distributed feedback semiconductor laser amplifiers, which greatly affects the saturation behavior of the reflectivity resonances, allowing access to states of low reflection during bistable switching.
