Continuous-wave operation of sampled grating tunable lasers with 10 mwatt output power, <60 nm tuning, and monotonic tuning characteristics

摘要

We describe recent results in widely tunable sampled grating lasers grown with tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) and tertiarybutylarsine (TBA) column V sources. These devices exhibit 62 nm CW tuning range, 30-50 dB MSR, 10 mW output power, and monotonic tuning.
