Abstract: A laser device based on silicon photonics with in-cavity power monitor includes a gain chip, a reflector, and a photodiode. The gain chip is mounted on a silicon photonics substrate and is configured to emit light from an active region bounded between a frontend facet and a backend facet. The reflector is configured to reflect the light in a cavity formed between the reflector and the frontend facet through which a laser light is output. The photodiode is coupled to one or more waveguides in the cavity by a splitter disposed directly in an optical path between the reflector and a component positioned in the cavity. The photodiode is configured to measure power of light propagating through the cavity between the reflector and the component.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a gain medium configured to amplify laser radiation within a given gain band. A resonant optical cavity contains the gain medium and includes first and second reflectors disposed on first and second sides of the gain medium. A comb filter between the first and second reflectors 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. A plurality of optical ring resonators between the first and second reflectors in series with the comb filter have tunable resonant wavelengths in proximity to different, respective wavelength sub-bands of the comb. A control circuit applies respective control voltages to the optical ring resonators so as to tune the respective resonant wavelengths relative to the respective wavelength sub-bands, thereby modulating the sub-bands in the laser radiation that is output from the device.

Abstract: An optoelectronic device includes a gain medium having first and second ends and configured to amplify laser radiation within a gain band having a peak at a given wavelength. A laser cavity, containing the gain medium, includes a first reflector disposed on a first side of the gain medium and a second reflector disposed on a second side of the gain medium, opposite the first side. The second reflector has a reflectance as a function of wavelength that is tunable so as to reduce a reflectance of the second reflector at the peak of the gain band, thereby broadening a spectrum of the laser radiation emitted from the gain medium through the second reflector.

Abstract: A semiconductor optical amplifier for high-power operation includes a gain medium having a multilayer structure sequentially laid with a P-layer, an active layer, a N-layer from an upper portion to a lower portion in cross-section thereof. The gain medium is extendedly laid with a length L from a front facet to a back facet. The active layer includes multiple well layers formed by undoped semiconductor material and multiple barrier layers formed by n-doped semiconductor materials. Each well layer is sandwiched by a pair of barrier layers. The front facet is characterized by a first reflectance Rf and the back facet is characterized by a second reflectance Rb. The gain medium has a mirror loss αm about 40-200 cm−1 given by: αm=(½L)ln{1/(Rf×Rb)}.

Abstract: A thin-film device for a wavelength-tunable semiconductor laser. The device includes a cavity between a high-reflectivity facet and an anti-reflection facet designed to emit a laser light of a wavelength in a tunable range determined by two Vernier-ring resonators with a joint-free-spectral-range between a first wavelength and a second wavelength. The device further includes a film including multiple pairs of a first layer and a second layer sequentially stacking to an outer side of the high-reflectivity facet. Each layer in each pair has one unit of respective optical thickness except one first or second layer in one pair having a larger optical thickness. The film is configured to produce inner reflectivity of the laser light from the high-reflectivity facet at least >90% for wavelengths in the tunable range starting from the first wavelength but at least

Abstract: A photonics device includes a silicon wafer including an upper surface region, a trench region, and a ridge structure. The ridge structure electrically isolates the upper surface region from the trench region. A laser diode chip flip-bonded onto the silicon wafer includes an electrode region bonded with the upper surface region, a gain region bonded with the trench region, and an isolation region bonded with the ridge structure. The isolation region electrically isolates the gain region from the electrode region. A conductor layer arranged between the silicon wafer and the laser diode chip includes a first section electrically connecting the gain region to a first electrode of the photonics device and a second section configured to electrically connect the electrode region to a second electrode of the photonics device. The first section is electrically isolated from the second section by the isolation region.
