The SOA section acts as a shutter to blank the laser output during wavelength switching events. Simulated results show that the turn-on edge of the SOA blanking process will oscillate when the facet reflection of SOA is relatively high. This phenomenon is also observed by experiments.展开更多

The design is based on a 320nm-thick butt jointed passive waveguide optimized for carrier injection tuning. The butt-joint technology enable optimize the passive waveguide as well as active section. By tuning mirror sections,the laser provides 35nm tuning while maintaining 〉30dB sidemode suppression ratio.展开更多
