Abstract

The natural choice for fast widely tunable lasers, user-friendly integrated modules with grating coupler sampled reflector (GCSR) or sampled grating (SG) DBR lasers, are turning into mature components as burn-in procedures make them very stable, and frequency and mode stabilization schemes are developed to take care of the residual degradation.
