Abstract:
A method of operating an array of laser sources integrated as an array in a single monolithic chip where the steps include designing the laser sources to have different target emission wavelengths so that together they form a spectral emission wavelength grid, coupling outputs from the laser sources to an array of gain/loss elements also integrated on the single monolithic chip, one each receiving the output from a respective laser source; and adjusting the outputs with the gain/loss elements so that the power levels across the laser source array are substantially uniform.
