    Abstract: A tunable transmission optical filter is optically coupled between a laser section and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) section of a tunable laser device. The optical filter may be tuned to provide a high transmission near the lasing peak while suppressing a significant portion of back-propagating amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of the SOA section. Without the optical filter, the laser output spectrum may develop side lobes of higher intensity after the ASE is amplified and reflected in the forward direction by the laser gain and mirror sections. While lessening the side lobes, the optical filter simultaneously transmits the laser peak for amplification by the SOA section.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may generate a data set including at least modal gain values and modal loss values for a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) slice. The device may determine, based on the data set, respective widths for a plurality of slices of an SOA using an autoregressive model. A width, of the respective widths, for a slice, of the plurality of slices, may be associated with a maximum conversion efficiency achievable for the slice at a given current density. The device may generate information indicating a geometry for the SOA based on the respective widths for the plurality of slices.

    Abstract: An optical device may include a laser component to emit a source beam and an optical component to split the source beam to generate a first beam and a second beam. The optical device may include a multiplexing component to multiplex the first beam and the second beam to form a first multiplexed beam, an optical system to receive the first multiplexed beam and demultiplex the first beam and the second beam, and a scanning component to scan a field of view with the first beam and the second beam and receive the first beam and the second beam reflected from the field of view. The optical system may multiplex the first beam and the second beam reflected from the field of view to form a second multiplexed beam, and a demultiplexing component may demultiplex the first beam and the second beam reflected from the field of view.
