Mr. Amerfoort et al., COMPACT ARRAYED-WAVE-GUIDE GRATING MULTIFREQUENCY LASER USING BULK ACTIVE MATERIAL, Electronics Letters, 33(25), 1997, pp. 2124-2126
An eight-channel arrayed waveguide gating (AWG) intracavity laser empl
oying bulk active material is reported. The use of bulk material ensur
es oscillation in one AWG order. Lasing at 200GHz-spaced ITU-defined f
requencies, 192.8-194.2 THz, is demonstrated.
