  • Abstract
    We experimentally demonstrate a monolithically integrated laser with built-in weak optical feedback, which shows broad regions of operation without relaxation-oscillation-induced instabilities. The side mode suppression is >40 dB for all values of the feedback phase. The measured linewidth varied from 740 KHz to 14 MHz, depending on the feedback phase value.
