Abstract
We developed high-performance distributed feedback array-based wavelength-s electable light sources (WSLs), covering the entire C-band with five simult aneously fabricated devices. We fabricated five different range WSLs on a w afer, each with a unique 8-nm tuning range to cover 40 100-GHz-spaced chann els. Uniform characteristics, such as an Ith of 8.3 +/- 1.2 mA, an sidemode suppression ratio of over 45 dB, and a fiber-coupled power greater than 8. 5 mW were obtained.
