    摘要: An optical source is described. This optical source may include: an optical cavity that includes at least one mirror; and a semiconductor laser chip having multiple epitaxial gain layers, where the epitaxial gain layers act as a gain medium that provides multiple lasing wavelengths in a band of frequencies without mode hopping and/or with significantly reduced mode beating below a predetermined value. Moreover, the optical source may include an optical component that selects laser modes of the optical cavity, where the optical component includes: an aperiodic grating; an echelle grating having a common arm that includes the epitaxial gain layers and multiple output arms that provide the lasing wavelengths; or a set of ring resonators that provide the lasing wavelengths.

    摘要: An optoelectronic device includes a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA), which includes a gain medium to amplify laser radiation within a given gain band, a first reflector at a first end of the gain medium, and a waveguide coupled to convey the laser radiation into and out of a second end of the gain medium. An external laser cavity, disposed on an optical substrate, is optically coupled to the waveguide. The external laser cavity includes a second reflector, a comb filter, disposed between the second reflector and the RSOA and configured to pass a set of distinct wavelength sub-bands within the gain band, the set of distinct wavelength sub-bands defining a comb, and a bandpass filter between the second reflector and the RSOA in series with the comb filter, having a passband encompassing a subset of the wavelength sub-bands in the comb.

    摘要: An external cavity laser and a tuning method therefor are provided. The external cavity laser includes a gain chip, and a tunable reflector. The tunable reflector includes a main waveguide, a beam splitter, a first branch waveguide, a first photonic crystal modulator, a second branch waveguide, and a second photonic crystal modulator. The beam splitter is configured to equally split the optical signal transmitted by the main waveguide into a first optical signal and a second optical signal and is configured to transmit the first optical signal to a first branch waveguide and the second optical signal to a second branch waveguide. A first photonic crystal modulator is configured to tune the first optical signal transmitted by the first branch waveguide. A second photonic crystal modulator is configured to tune the second optical signal transmitted by the second branch waveguide.
