Tunable two color emission in a compact semiconductor ring laser with filtered optical feedback

Abstract

We report on an integrated approach to obtain two color emission from a semiconductor ring laser with filtered optical feedback. This feedback is realized on-chip by employing two arrayed waveguide gratings to split/recombine light into different wavelength chan nels. Semiconductor optical amplifiers are used in the feedback loop to control the feed back strength of each wavelength channel independently. Results show that the effective gain of the d(tferent anodes is the key parameter which has to be balanced to obtain two color emission. This can be aclueved by tuning the injection current in each amplifie
