  • Abstract
    We demonstrate preliminary results from a monolithically integrated tunable laser with narrow-linewidth. Experimental results show tuning in excess of 54 nm in the O-band as well as significant reduction in laser linewidth due to the external cavity. The measured linewidth with external cavity, currently limited by measurement setup, is around 150 kHz.
