Abstract
A numerical model for erbium distributed feedback (DFB) fibre
lasers is presented. The model is used to optimise the location of
a discrete phase-shift to obtain maximum output power. For DFB
fibre lasers of up to 10cm in length it is shown that the
influence of Kerr nonlinearity with respect to output power is
negligible.
