T. Tanaka et al., INTEGRATED EXTERNAL-CAVITY LASER COMPOSED OF SPOT-SIZE CONVERTED LD AND UV WRITTEN GRATING IN SILICA WAVE-GUIDE ON SI, Electronics Letters, 32(13), 1996, pp. 1202-1203
The authors report for the first time an external cavity laser compose
d of a spot-size converted LD and a UV written waveguide grating, both
integrated on Si. The laser operates in a singlemode with a side-mode
suppression of 37 dB. The threshold current is 12 mA and the average
thermal coefficient is as low as -1.7 GHz/degrees.
