Abstract
A synthesized grating is provided comprising a substrate/layer, and a plurality of alternating aperiodic non-uniform low and high index profiles on a surface of the substrate/layer defining a transmission/reflection spectrum for one of either single or multi-frequency operation of said grating in an optical cavity. A method is also provided for designing the synthesized grating, comprising determining a grating structure of given profiles through analysis of an optimized weighted sum and mapping the grating profile to said surface with the plurality of alternating non-uniform low and high index profiles. A distributed feedback laser is also provided having top, bottom and two sides, comprising a top electrode, a cladding layer disposed below the top electrode a bottom electrode, a substrate disposed above the bottom electrode, one of either an active or passive waveguide layer, a synthesized aperiodic grating layer providing distributed mirrors, and wherein the waveguide layer and synthesized aperiodic grating layer are disposed between said the substrate and cladding layer and are separated by a spacer layer.
