Abstract :
In this paper we report the proof-of-concept demonstration of electronic switching in a Raman laser by using a diode laser cavity. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first such demonstration. In contrast to traditional Raman lasers, this laser can be directly modulated to transmit data, and can be part of a silicon optoelectronic integrated circuit.
