Self mode-locked quantum dash lasers emitting at 1535 nm are compact photonic sources for broadband optical frequency comb generation. They find application as super-channel sources in datacom. Their mode comb spacing can be dynamically controlled by optical self feedback [Fiala et al, DPG Spring Meeting Berlin (2018), DY 69.18]. In this work, the impact of different optical feedback delays and strengths on the radio-frequency line width, the repetitions rate and thus the comb mode spacing are investigated experimentally. Feedback cavity lengths range from 6 m to 73 m. A dynamic mode spacing control from 2 to 22.5 MHz is demonstrated. A considerable reduction in RF line width from 20 kHz (free-running) to 2.5 kHz is reported. The experimental results are confirmed by a simple stochastic time-domain model [Drzewietzki et al., Opt. Express 21 (2013) 16142; Auth et al., Electron. Lett. 54 (2018), 374].
