TUNABLE SEMICONDUCTOR LASER BASED ON RECONSTRUCTION-EQUIVALENT CHIRP AND SERIES MODE OR SERIES AND PARALLEL HYBRID INTEGRATION, AND PREPARATION THEREOF

摘要

A tunable distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor laser based on a series mode or a series and parallel hybrid mode. A grating structure of the laser is a sampling Bragg grating based on the reconstruction-equivalent chirp technology. DFB lasers with different operating wavelengths based on the reconstruction-equivalent chirp technology are integrated together by a sampling series combination mode or a series/parallel hybrid mode, one of the lasers is selected to operate via a current, and the operating wavelength of the laser can be controlled by adjusting the current or the temperature, so that the continuous tuning of the operating wavelengths of the lasers can be realized. Various wavelength signals in parallel channels are coupled and then output from the same waveguide. An electrical isolation area (1-11) is adopted between lasers connected in series or lasers connected in series and connected in parallel to reduce the crosstalk between adjacent lasers.
