Dense-comb redundant ring laser array
The disclosed embodiments relate to the design of a hybrid laser comprising a shared ring mirror coupled to a pair of buses by a 3 dB coupler (also referred to as a “symmetric splitter”), which is described in more detail below. Each bus is also coupled to an array of ring filters, wherein each ring filter couples an associated reflective silicon optical amplifier (RSOA) to the shared ring mirror and in doing so forms a Verniered ring pair with the shared ring mirror. The resulting system provides a comb source with redundant channels that can provide individual outputs or a shared output. This hybrid laser provides a significant improvement over existing comb-based lasers by providing redundancy for at least one laser channel.
