A multiwavelength low-power wavelength-locked slotted Fabry-Pérot laser source for WDM applications

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Wavelength-locking of a multiwavelength stabilized slotted Fabry-Pérot (SFP) laser to a single-mode laser source is experimentally demonstrated. The SFP resonates at channels spaced by ∼8 nm between 1510 and 1565 nm over a wide range of temperatures and drive currents. Under low-power (<-20 dBm) external optical injection, wavelength-locking with a sidemode suppression ratio (SMSR) > 25 dB is achieved. A locking width of > 25 GHz and SMSR > 30 dB can be achieved for each locked wavelength channel at injection power > -16 dBm.
