Abstract

The integration of multiple lasers with different characteristics on the same semiconductor chip allows for very high performance tunable lasers as well as new low cost architectures for parallel data links. For applications in tunable lasers, we describe our geometry of laser array with MEMS switch than can cover a 53nm tuning range with high spectral purity. In parallel data links, the laser arrays are operated simultaneously and deliver multiple 10Gb/s channels.
