Disclosed is a method for maintaining wavelength-locking of a Fabry-Perot
laser regardless of a change of external temperature even though a
temperature controller is not used, and a wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) light source using the method, as an economical light
source used in a WDM optical communication field. The WDM light source
comprises a Fabry-Perot laser for injecting spectrum-spliced incoherent
light to amplify and output only an oscillation mode matching with a
wavelength of the injected light, and a bias controlling unit for
adjusting a bias current supplied to the Fabry-Perot laser to a value
adjacent to a threshold current of the Fabry-Perot laser, whose threshold
current is changed according to a temperature and a relationship between
the injected light changed depending to a temperature and a wavelength of
the oscillation mode. Therefore, the bias current having a value adjacent
to the threshold current of the Fabry-Perot laser is supplied to the
Fabry-Perot laser, so that the Fabry-Perot laser can maintain an
excellent transmission characteristic regardless of a change of
temperature even though a temperature controller is not used.
