Dual longitudinal mode distributed feedback lasers have been fabricated using surface gratings with and without apodization. Analytic formulas and simulations that have been used to derive design guidelines are presented. The fabricated device characteristics are in good agreement with the simulations. The grating apodization enables a lower threshold current density, a higher output power and a broader range of difference frequency tunability by bias, which can be extended beyond the measured 15-55 GHz by changing the device structure. The apodization and the complex coupling of the surface gratings reduce the effects of the uncontrollable phase of facet reflections, enabling the use of higher facet reflectivitics, which leads to narrower intrinsic short time-scale linewidths.
