Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2016085956A1] A tunable laser with multiple in-line sections including sampled gratings generally includes a semiconductor laser body with a plurality of in-line laser sections configured to be driven independently to generate laser light at a wavelength within a different respective wavelength range. Sampled gratings in the respective in-line sections have the same grating period and a different sampling period to produce the different wavelengths. The wavelength of the light generated in the respective laser sections may be tuned, in response to a temperature change, to a channel wavelength within the respective wavelength range. By selectively generating light in one or more of the laser sections, one or more channel wavelengths may be selected for lasing and transmission. By using sampled gratings with the same grating period in the multiple in-line sections, the multiple section tunable laser may be fabricated more easily.
