Fully integrated and mode-hop-free widely tunable lasers
Abstract
Integrated widely tunable lasers are commonly used in communications. However, applications in, e.g., fiber sensing, biomedical imaging, or gas spectroscopy, have different requirements, such as continuous sweeping and/or low-noise operation. Most lasers make use of Vernier-based intracavity filters, e.g., SG-DBR or double-ring, but their tuning is fundamentally not continuous and leads to mode-hopping and/or amplitude fluctuations. I discuss novel ideas to address this problem and show our experimental results in InP-based lasers.
