    Abstract: A tunable laser with multiple in-line sections generally includes a semiconductor laser body with a plurality of in-line laser sections each configured to be driven independently to generate laser light at a wavelength within a different respective wavelength range. The wavelength of the light generated in each of the laser sections may be tuned, in response to a temperature change, to a channel wavelength within the respective wavelength range. The laser light generated in each selected one of the laser sections is emitted from a front facet of the laser body. By selectively generating light in one or more of the laser sections, one or more channel wavelengths may be selected for lasing and transmission. The tunable laser with multiple in-line sections may be used, for example, in a tunable transmitter in an optical networking unit (ONU) in a WDM passive optical network (PON) to select a transmission channel wavelength.

    Abstract: A two-section semiconductor laser includes a gain section and a modulation-independent grating section to reduce chirp. The modulation-independent grating section includes a diffraction grating for reflecting light and forms a laser cavity with the gain section for lasing at a wavelength or range of wavelengths reflected by the diffraction grating. The gain section of the semiconductor laser includes a gain electrode for driving the gain section with at least a modulated RF signal and the grating section includes a grating electrode for driving the grating section with a DC bias current independent of the modulation of the gain section. The semiconductor laser may thus be directly modulated with the modulated RF signal without the modulation significantly affecting the index of refraction in the diffraction grating, thereby reducing chirp.

    Abstract: A tunable laser with multiple in-line sections including sampled gratings generally includes a semiconductor laser body with a plurality of in-line laser sections configured to be driven independently to generate laser light at a wavelength within a different respective wavelength range. Sampled gratings in the respective in-line sections have the same grating period and a different sampling period to produce the different wavelengths. The wavelength of the light generated in the respective laser sections may be tuned, in response to a temperature change, to a channel wavelength within the respective wavelength range. By selectively generating light in one or more of the laser sections, one or more channel wavelengths may be selected for lasing and transmission. By using sampled gratings with the same grating period in the multiple in-line sections, the multiple section tunable laser may be fabricated more easily.
