Dual-use laser source comprising a cascaded array of hybrid distributed feedback lasers
The disclosed embodiments provide a laser source comprising a silicon waveguide formed in a silicon layer, and a cascaded array of hybrid distributed feedback (DFB) lasers formed by locating sections of III-V gain material over the silicon waveguide. Each DFB laser in the cascaded array comprises a section of III-V gain material located over the silicon waveguide, wherein the section of III-V gain material includes an active region that generates light, and a Bragg grating located between the III-V gain material and the silicon waveguide. This Bragg grating has a resonance frequency within a gain bandwidth of the section of III-V material and is transparent to frequencies that differ from the resonance frequency. Moreover, each DFB laser has a hybrid mode that resides partially in the III-V gain material and partially in silicon.
