Abstract:We report a continuous-wave, O-band quantum-dot semiconductor comb laser for WDM optical interconnects exhibiting a 2.2 THz optical bandwidth with up to 89 comb wavelengths spaced at 25 GHz, over 30% peak ex-facet electrical-to-optical power conversion efficiency, up to 270 mW of usable laser power, relative intensity noise below − 135 dB/Hz per individual mode, individual laser mode linewidth of 140 kHz, mode beating linewidths of 50 kHz across all modes, and stable far-field output with 75% coupling efficien… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
