Abstract:
A reflector structure for a tunable laser and a tunable laser. A super structure grating is used as a reflector structure, and a suspended structure is formed around a region in which the super structure grating is located, to implement, using the suspended structure, thermal isolation around the region in which the super structure grating is located, and increase thermal resistance, such that less heat is lost, and heat is concentrated in the region in which the super structure grating is located, thereby improving thermal tuning efficiency of the reflector structure. Moreover, lateral support structures are disposed on two sides of the suspended structure, to provide a mechanical support for the suspended structure. In addition, regions in the super structure grating that correspond to any two lateral support structures on a same side of the suspended structure fall at different locations in a spatial period of the super structure grating.
