    Abstract: An electro-optical device is provided. The device comprises an optical signal source, which is configured to generate a modulated optical signal having a first extinction ratio. The device further comprises an absorber configured to receive the modulated signal and generate an optical output signal from the modulated signal, wherein the output optical signal has a second extinction ratio, which is larger than the first extinction ratio.

    Abstract: This application describes a wavelength-tunable laser apparatus, which reduces complexity of wavelength tuning of a laser. The laser includes a reflective gain unit, an optical phase shifter, a coupler, and a passive filter unit array. Furthermore, an output port of the reflective gain unit is connected to an input port of the optical phase shifter, an output port of the optical phase shifter is connected to an input port of the coupler, a first output port of the coupler is connected to an input port of the passive filter unit array, and a second output port of the coupler is an output port of the laser. The passive filter unit array includes a plurality of passive filter units, where any two of the plurality of passive filter units have different wavelength tuning ranges, and each filter unit has a linearly tunable wavelength.
