Abstract
Effects of system parameters on the side-mode suppression ratio of the fiber grating external cavity semiconductor laser are investigated by the numerical method, and the variation of the side-mode suppression ratio is discussed. It is found that an excellent anti-reflection coating provides the significant reduction of the variation due to the phase shift and the change of the internal cavity length. The laser with the low anti-reflection coating, the high coupling efficiency and the short cavity will exhibit the excellent side-mode suppression ratio.
