Following are the characteristics of this dfb laser type.
Fp laser vs dfb laser.

The fp laser spectral width is relatively wide is a multi longitudinal mode lasers.
The main difference can be got by the form between the fp and dfb laser is that the spectral width is different.
This leads to narrower linewidths than are produced by fp lasers.
A distributed feedback laser dfb is a type of laser diode quantum cascade laser or optical fiber laser where the active region of the device contains a periodically structured element or diffraction grating the structure builds a one dimensional interference grating bragg scattering and the grating provides optical feedback for the laser this longitudinal diffraction grating has periodic.
It is more precise compare to fp laser type.
Fabry perot laser diodes are lasers whose mirrors are simply the flat cleaved surfaces at the ends of the laser chip.
Optical fiber transmissions of using direct modulation and external modulation for multi receiver array have been applied to remove the cable cross.
The fp laser fp fabry perot laser is a semiconductor light emitting device that emits multi longitudinal mode coherent light with a fp cavity as a resonant cavity.
It has output power capability much lower than fp laser type.
This is a fatal mode hop if the desired wavelength exists within the gap.

Their operating wavelength threshold current and forward voltage are also different.
Dfb laser is with higher production cost and suitble for long distance transmission.
Fp lase are mainly used for low rate short distance tramission.
Typical tuning curve of a dfb laser 3.
While the spectral width of the fp laser is relatively wide it is a multi longitudinal mode laser.
In this tutorial we will quickly explain what is a dfb.
Distributed feedback laser selects only one principal wavelength in fp laser spectrum.
Eventually a red shift occurs to a higher gain mode leaving a gap in the tuning range.

With increasing current the wavelength of the laser red shifts as the device heats up.
In summary fp and dfb lasers working principles are different.
Distributed feedback dfb laser diodes are lasers that have a grating structure in the cavity that produces multiple reflections throughout the cavity.
