Abstract

We demonstrate detailed characterization results of a hybrid InP-TriPleX photonic integrated tunable laser based on silicon nitride micro ring resonators. A tuning range of 50 nm across the C-band, side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) > 50dB, high output power (~10 dBm), linewidth of <80 kHz across the whole tuning range, and 's switching speed are achieved. The delayed self-heterodyne (DSH) method is used for the linewidth measurement, the lowest linewidth can be achieve is ~35 kHz. The FM noise spectrum is also measured to show the 1/f noise and white noise characterization. Furthermore, the device demonstrates performance comparable with commercial external cavity lasers in 64-QAM coherent system.
