UV photo-ablation provides an efficient and reproducible means to control the birefringence of a dual-frequency DBR fiber laser. The resulting beat note can be finely tuned by real-time measurement during the process from typically 100 MHz to about 6 GHz, independently of the active medium length.

The first InGaN-based LDs were reported in 1996 by Nakamura and co-workers [1] and commercialized from 1999 by the Nichia Corporation. Since then, huge efforts have been devoted to the optimization of the epitaxial layers (doping, defect concentration, shortening of the radiative lifetime, etc.).
