Abstract :
We fabricated wavelength tunable laser diodes with Si photonic wire waveguide ring resonators as an external optical cavity. The continuous wavelength tuning operation was demonstrated using by the micro heaters. Our wavelength tunable laser diode is suitable for digital coherent optical transmission systems based on wavelength division multiplexing.
