Self-mode-locking in a high-power hybrid silicon nitride integrated laser

Abstract: Integrated mode-locked lasers are useful tools in microwave photonic applications as a local oscillator. In particular, hybrid integrated lasers could easily be integrated with passive processing circuits. In this Letter, we report on the self-mode-locking of a hybrid integrated laser comprising two indium phosphide gain sections and a silicon nitride feedback circuit that filters light using two ring resonators. The hybrid laser is shown to mode-lock and to have a mostly fre… Show more

“…However, the authors also noted signs of dynamic instability seen as independent locking of subgroups of modes, which we would address to an insufficiently narrow Bragg filtering. In contrast, stable FDML has been observed in hybrid integrated lasers using sharp spectral filtering with two microring resonators [9,10]. However, the repetition rates of these lasers were significantly higher than the 1-GHz limit imposed by the inverse of the upper-state lifetime.…”

“…In contrast, in all cases the output was observed to comprise multiple light frequencies in a comb-shape if the laser parameters were properly set. Specifically, in [58] it was shown via measurements of the modal phases and a reconstructed output time trace that the output was mostly frequency modulated, confirming that the mode-locking dynamics in such narrowband feedback lasers are based on FM mode-locking.…”

“…This includes own work, which formed the first experimental report of this type of modelocking based on narrowband feedback [57], presented in Chapter 4. Our study was followed by a detailed experimental analysis at lower repetition rates around 2.2 GHz [58] while a full physical explanation of the working principle based on numerical modeling was given in [61]. Recently, with another type of integrated, narrow-feedback laser indeed much lower repetition rates have been observed, down to 360 MHz [59].…”
