Abstract
We present a narrow-linewidth, high-power, widely-tunable III-V/Si3N4 hybrid integrated external cavity laser. The laser is composed of a reflector semiconductor optical amplifier chip, a Si3N4 external cavity with triple micro-ring resonators, and a semiconductor optical amplifier chip. The laser achieved a side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR) greater than 50 dB across an 89 nm wavelength tuning range. The maximum fiber output power reached 101.4 mW at the wavelength of 1550 nm. The minimized Lorentzian linewidth was 0.252 kHz, with a minimum RIN of −156 dBc/Hz. This exceptional performance positions the laser as a strong candidate for applications in gas sensing, LiDAR, coherent optical communication, and other advanced fields.
