RT Journal Article T1 1.8-THz-wide optical frequency comb emitted from monolithic passively mode-locked semiconductor quantum-well laser A1 Lo, Mu Chieh A1 Guzmán Martínez, Robinson Cruzoe A1 Ali, Muhsin A1 Santos, Rui A1 Agustin, Luc A1 Carpintero del Barrio, Guillermo AB We report on an optical frequency comb with 14 nm (∼1.8 THz) spectral bandwidth at a −3 dB level that is generated using a passively mode-locked quantum-well laser in photonic integrated circuits fabricated through an InP generic photonic integration technology platform. This 21.5-GHz colliding-pulse mode-locked laser cavity is defined by on-chip reflectors incorporating intracavity phase modulators followed by an extracavity semiconductor optical amplifier as a booster amplifier. A 1.8-THz-wide optical comb spectrum is presented with an ultrafast pulse that is 0.35 ps wide. The radio frequency beat note has a 3-dB linewidth of 450 kHz and 35-dB SNR.
