Abstract
We present the progress obtained in recent years on widely tunable edge-emitting lasers at 1.55 μm. We focus on electronically tunable lasers, which can switch the wavelength in tens of nanoseconds and thus offer great potential for new networking concepts such as optical packet/burst switching, label switching, bandwidth on demand,...
