“…More information on the design and operation of such device structure can be found in Ref. [3]. For testing, the tunable ring laser sample was mounted on a custom thin film AlN ceramic subcarrier and packaged in a 14-pin butterfly package with a PM fiber aligned to the output facet for the collection and analysis of the optical output.…”

The authors report the detailed characterisation of a widely tunable laser and module that offers the elusive combination of very fast (nanosecond) tuning and narrow linewidth. The laser is fabricated on an active-passive InP-based platform and packaged into a 14-pin butterfly module. Electro-optic tuning is used with reversevoltage bias of tuning sections allowing mA-order dark currents and facilitating nanosecond switching speeds with low power dissipation. The device is suitable for integration into fiber coupled modules such as the nano-iTLA or can be monolithically integrated with other components in a III-V PIC. It is a promising new laser for applications that require fast and wide tuning with low linewidth, such as FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous-Wave) LiDAR and coherent optical packet or burst switching.

“…This technology is commonly employed in a variety of optical and photonics applications, such as modulators, tunable filters, and laser systems. [112][113][114][115] The key principle behind EO tuning is the in-teraction between the electric field and the material's refractive index. When an electric field is applied to a suitable EO material, it induces changes in the material's refractive index, altering the way it interacts with light.…”

Metalenses (MLs), representing a groundbreaking paradigm shift within the realm of optics, have ushered in a transformative era in the ability to manipulate and harness the power of light. Diverging from the conventional approach reliant on curved surfaces to bend light, MLs harness intricate arrays of minuscule nanostructures to exert precise control over the phase and amplitude of incident light waves. This revolutionary technology bestows a plethora of advantages, including the creation of ultra‐compact optical systems, the enhancement of focusing capabilities to unprecedented levels, and the capability to rectify optical aberrations in a significantly thinner and more lightweight form factor. MLs have discovered a multitude of applications spanning diverse fields, from imaging and photography to augmenting reality and refining medical devices. They stand as a beacon of hope for reshaping the landscape of optical systems, courtesy of their remarkable adaptability and exceptional performance. As the evolution of MLs forges ahead, they hold immense potential to transcend the boundaries of what can be accomplished in the domain of light‐based technologies. This review presents the recent advances in reconfigurable MLs and their applicability to imaging systems.

The 1.55 μm waveband integrated external cavity tunable diode lasers have excellent merits such as their small volume, low cost, low power consumption, wide tuning range, narrow linewidth, large side mode suppression ratio, and high output power. These merits have attracted many applications for the lasers, such as in wavelength division multiplexing, passive optical networks, mobile backhaul, and spectral sensing technology. In this paper, firstly, the basic structure and principle of integrated external cavity tunable diode lasers are introduced, and then two main integrated structures of 1.55 μm waveband external cavity tunable diode lasers are reviewed and compared in detail, namely the hybrid integrated structure and monolithic integrated structure of 1.55 μm waveband integrated external cavity tunable diode lasers. Finally, the research progress in 1.55 μm waveband integrated external cavity tunable diode lasers in the last decade are summarised, and the advantages and disadvantages of 1.55 μm waveband integrated external cavity tunable diode lasers are analysed. The results show that, with the transformation of optical communication into more complex modulation formats, it is necessary to integrate miniature 1.55 μm waveband external cavity tunable diode lasers. Low-cost integrated 1.55 μm waveband external cavity tunable diode lasers are expected to be used in the next generation of optical transceivers in small-factor modules.
