Precise Frequency Spacing in Photonic Crystal DFB Laser Arrays

We have developed integrated distributed-feedback laser arrays using photonic crystal waveguide on a membrane. They exhibit stable single-mode emission. Using both different lattice constants and a method called affine deformation of the crystal, we obtained extended control over the lasing waveleng...

Description
Summary:We have developed integrated distributed-feedback laser arrays using photonic crystal waveguide on a membrane. They exhibit stable single-mode emission. Using both different lattice constants and a method called affine deformation of the crystal, we obtained extended control over the lasing wavelength. Laser arrays with laser-to-laser wavelength shifts as small as 0.3 nm are achieved.
