    摘要: An optical communication system for transmitting multiple optical beams, each at a different wavelength is disclosed. The optical communication system includes a laser array having multiple laser transmitters transmitting multiple optical beams, each at a different wavelength. The optical communication system further includes a diffraction grating optically coupled to the laser array, the diffraction grating diffracting each of the optical beams at a substantially equal diffraction angle to form a combined optical beam. The combined beam is then focused into an optical communication media.

    摘要: One or more single mode waveguide devices are fiber coupled such that signals to an optical element affect the coupling of the waveguide device to one or more modulators and to an optical fiber. The optical element or additional optical elements are controlled to adjust the coupling of the waveguide device to a modulator and to an optical fiber.

    摘要: A widely tunable laser is described where a compound semiconductor gain chip is coupled to a waveguide filter fabricated on silicon. The filter has two resonators with different free-spectral-ranges, such that Vernier tuning between the filters can be used to provide a single wavelength of light feedback into the gain chip, where the wavelength is adjustable over a wide range. The coupling between the gain chip and the filter is realized through a microlens whose position can be adjusted using micromechanics and locked in place.

    摘要: A directly driven laser includes multiple contacts, with at least one of the contacts for injecting current into the laser such that the laser reaches at least a lasing threshold and at least one of the contacts for providing a data signal to the laser. In some embodiments a differential data signal is effectively provided to a front and a rear section of the laser, while lasing threshold current is provided to a central portion of the laser.

    摘要: A multi-wavelength laser array where each element can be individually heated for fine tuning. The wavelength of the array can be coarsely tuned by selecting one laser of a particular wavelength for the array, and then applying a heating current to fine-tune the wavelength. The lasers can be phase shifted DFBs for high single-mode yield. The heating can be performed monolithic to the device by passing current longitudinally through the p-type stripe, while the injection current passes vertically through the stripe. Alternatively an adjacent laser to the one selected can be activated, though not fiber coupled, such that the thermal load is sufficient to tune the selected laser. Thin film heaters placed on top or adjacent to the cavity can also be used. To minimize continuous power consumption, the on-chip heater can be used initially to tune the laser while the TE cooler responds on a slower time scale.
