    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Optical Engineering
    • Semiconductor Lasers
    • Integrated Optics

    Background:

    • Optical frequency combs are crucial for precise measurements and communications.
    • Developing compact, integrated, and low-linewidth optical combs remains a significant challenge.
    • Existing methods often lack tunability and scalability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a monolithically integrated, low-linewidth optical frequency comb.
    • To achieve wavelength tunability in the integrated device.
    • To enhance the number of comb lines through optical injection.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing gain switching of a three-section semiconductor laser device.
    • Integrating master and slave laser sections with a shared slotted mirror.
    • Applying electrical bias tuning and optical injection locking.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a monolithically integrated optical comb with a low linewidth of ~600 kHz.
    • Demonstrated wavelength tunability by adjusting electrical bias.
    • Nearly doubled the number of comb lines via optical injection from the master to the slave section.
    • Observed a free spectral range (FSR) of 4 GHz tunable around 1580.3 nm.

    Conclusions:

    • The demonstrated device offers a promising platform for integrated, tunable, low-linewidth optical frequency combs.
    • Gain switching combined with optical injection is an effective method for enhancing comb properties.
    • This technology has potential applications in optical communications, spectroscopy, and sensing.
