Abstract

We demonstrate a laser tunable in intensity with gigahertz tuning speed based on a III/V reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA) coupled to a silicon photonic chip. The silicon chip contains a Bragg-based Fabry-Perot resonator to form a passive bandpass filter within its stopband to enable single-mode operation of the laser. We observe a side mode suppression ratio of 43 dB, linewidth of 790 kHz, and an optical output power of 1.65 mW around 1530 nm. We also investigate using a micro-ball lens as an alternative coupling method between the RSOA and the silicon chip.

摘要

我们展示了一种基于与硅光子芯片耦合的III/V族反射半导体光放大器（RSOA）的强度可通过千兆赫兹调谐速度进行调谐的激光器。该硅芯片包含一个基于布拉格的法布里-珀罗谐振器，以在其阻带内形成一个无源带通滤波器，从而实现激光器的单模运行。我们观察到边模抑制比为43 dB，线宽为790 kHz，在1530 nm附近的光输出功率为1.65 mW。我们还研究了使用微球透镜作为RSOA与硅芯片之间的另一种耦合方法。
