What is a DFB laser?
A distributed feedback (DFB) laser comprises a periodic structure close to the p-n junction of the diode. The distributed feedback from this grating determines the emission wavelength. The DFB laser has a very stable wavelength which can be slightly tuned by the temperature and the current of the laser. The wavelength coefficients are 0.06 nm/K and 0.003 nm/mA.
