  • Abstract
    Monolithic widely tunable lasers are reviewed, with emphasis on the grating coupled sampled reflector (GCSR) laser. Methods of controlling the lasers are discussed, leading to wavelength agile integrated wavelength-division multiplexing sources settable to any wavelength within the erbium-doped fiber amplifier window.
