Directional power distribution and mode selection in micro ring lasers by controlling the phase and strength of filtered optical feedback

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

We discuss the design and characterization of a micro ring laser with on-chip filtered optical feedback. The laser and feedback section have been fabricated on a generic photonic integration platform using only standard building blocks. The filtering process in the feedback scheme is based on the reflection from a distributed Bragg reflector. We include several control pads in the feedback section which allows us to control separately the wavelength, the strength and the phase of the filtered feedback. By controlling the phase of the feedback, we can fine-tune the longitudinal mode selection and wavelength of the laser output, while changing the strength of the feedback allows us to control the power distribution between the two directions of the micro ring laser. Numerical simulations reproduce our experimental observations. (C) 2018 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
