Abstract
We describe hybrid lasers combining a semiconductor gain section and f iber cavity with integrated chirped Bragg reflector. These devices hav e produced output powers of 27.5 mW in a narrow linewidth (400 KHz) st able single longitudinal mode. The use of a chirped reflector to stabi lize the single mode output, and correct grating orientation are descr ibed. The laser output has a side-mode suppression ratio of over 55 dB at 27.5 mW output, and relative intensity noise (RIN) below 160 dB/Hz .
