Abstract
Generation of wavelength tunable transform-limited picosecond pulses f rom a monolithic passively mode-locked distributed Bragg reflector (DB R) laser is demonstrated for the first time. A wide tuning range of 12 nm is realized by changing the refractive index of the passive DBR re gion through a thin-film heater embedded on the DBR section without ca using significant changes in pulse characteristics.
