Narrow linewidth on-chip III-V/TFLT laser.

We report a narrow-linewidth laser based on thin-film lithium tantalate (TFLT). The laser is composed of an InP reflective semiconductor optical amplifier gain chip hybrid integrated with a TFLT waveguide external cavity cladded with a silicon oxide extended Bragg grating. The single-frequency laser device achieves an on-chip output power of approximately 26 mW and an intrinsic Lorentzian linewidth of ~94 Hz. These results highlight the great potential of TFLT for integrated photonic laser applications, enabling high-coherence and high-power laser sources in a compact platform.
