Single growth platform for integration of tuneable laser and semiconductor optical amplifier

A single-growth wavelength tuneable laser diode integrated with a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is presented. Fabrication of the device uses only standard lithography. The single mode device exhibits a maximum side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB and optical output power in excess of 14 dBm.
