Abstract
Fiber grating lasers have been theoretically investigated. Stabilizing the conditions of the lasing wavelength of fiber grating lasers against temperature change is discussed on the basis of mode-hopping control. It is shown that, to reduce irregular and large-jump mode hopping, which originate in the longitudinal modes of the semiconductor optical amplifier chip, the front facet reflectivity of the chip should be less than 0.05 %. Two approaches to controlling mode hopping are proposed: extending the temperature period and reducing the wavelength change of hopping.
