Abstract :
We propose the lateral integration scheme of MEMS tunable VCSEL and slow light amplifier for increasing single-mode power. The modeling result shows the efficient excitation of slow light in the integrated amplifier. The coupling efficiency and the radiation angle from the amplifier are almost constant during wavelength tuning.
