A reflective semiconductor optical amplifier light source is disclosed. The reflective semiconductor optical amplifier light source includes a transmissive type semiconductor optical amplifier for creating and amplifying spontaneous emission light, a reflector for reflecting amplified spontaneous emission light outputted from the semiconductor optical amplifier such that amplified spontaneous emission light is reflected back into the semiconductor optical amplifier, and a bandpass filter having a predetermined wavelength band width for limiting wavelength bands of the amplified spontaneous emission light capable of passing through the bandpass filter. In one aspect of the invention, the bandpass filter is interposed between the semiconductor optical amplifier and the reflector. In another aspect, a polarization filter is imposed to limit the reflected emission light to a predetermined polarization.

A bi-directional WDM communication system of the type having central and local offices, and subscribers is provided. The central office includes downstream Bragg reflector lasers for generating downstream channels of different wavelengths, each channel being wavelength-locked to a corresponding incoherent light beam. The central office multiplexes the downstream channels into a downstream optical signal, demultiplexes an upstream optical signal into upstream channels of different wavelengths, and detects the upstream channels. The local office demultiplexes a downstream optical signal into downstream channels, multiplexes upstream channels of different wavelengths into an upstream optical signal, outputs it to the central office, and demultiplexes a broadband light beam into incoherent light beams of different wavelengths. Each subscriber receives the corresponding downstream channel and incoherent light beam, includes an upstream Bragg reflector laser for generating an upstream channel wavelength-locked to the received incoherent light beam, and outputs the upstream channel to the local office.

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.
