In this paper,we analyse the longitudinal mode threshold gain affected by the dis-continuity of the waveguide in a composite-cavity semiconductor laser diode. The effe-ctive reflectance R_(aff) and the threshold gain have a certain distribution with waveleng-th caused by the interferometric effect in the composite cavity.Some mode hopping be-tween the neighboring modes can be suppressed when the gain peak moves with tempe-rature,which enlarges the temperature range of the stable single longitudinalmode osci...
