Abstract:
According to the invention there is provided a tunable laser system for use in an optical communication system, said tunable laser system comprising a multi-section laser separated by at least two slots to define a plurality of sections, each section adapted to provide an optical gain. Each section comprises a separate control means to provide an adjustable optical gain in each section. The tunable laser system and method of the present invention provides a wide tuning range, narrow linewidth and fast switching times.
