We demonstrate absorber-free passive and hybrid mode-locking at sub-GHz repetition rates, using a hybrid integrated extended cavity diode laser operating near 1550 nm. The laser is based on InP as a gain medium and a Si3N4 waveguide feedback circuit. Absorber-free Fourier domain mode-locking with ≈15 comb lines at around 0.2 mW total power is achieved with repetition rates around 500 MHz, using three highly frequency-selective micro-ring resonators that extend the on-chip cavity length to 0.6 m. To stabilize the repetition rate, hybrid mode-locking is demonstrated by weak RF modulation of the diode current. The RF injection reduces the Lorentzian linewidth component from 8.9 kHz to a detection-limited value of around 300 mHz. To measure the locking range of the repetition rate, the injected RF frequency is tuned with regard to the passive mode-locking frequency and the injected RF power is varied. The locking range increases approximately as a square-root function of the injected RF power. At 1 mW injection, a wide locking range of about 80 MHz is obtained. We also observe the laser maintaining stable mode-locking when the DC diode pump current is increased from 40 mA to 190 mA, provided that the cavity length is maintained constant with thermo-refractive tuning.

Hybrid integrated semiconductor laser sources offering extremely narrow spectral linewidth, as well as compatibility for embedding into integrated photonic circuits, are of high importance for a wide range of applications. We present an overview on our recently developed hybrid-integrated diode lasers with feedback from low-loss silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 in SiO 2 ) circuits, to provide sub-100-Hz-level intrinsic linewidths, up to 120 nm spectral coverage around a 1.55 μ m wavelength, and an output power above 100 mW. We show dual-wavelength operation, dual-gain operation, laser frequency comb generation, and present work towards realizing a visible-light hybrid integrated diode laser. Full article
