Multiple electrode distributed feedback laser array

Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and systems for a modulated laser are disclosed. The modulated laser includes a substrate including a plurality of laser segments, a first laser segment comprising a DC electrode, a second laser segment comprising an AC electrode, an isolation barrier formed between the first laser segment and the second laser segment, and a modulated laser cavity spanning from a rear face to a front face of the modulated laser inclusive of the plurality of laser segments, wherein a primary injection current supporting stimulated emission at a desired optical output power out of the front face of the modulated laser is generated when a DC bias is applied to the DC electrode, and wherein a carrier signal of the modulated laser is modulated when an AC signal is applied to the AC electrode, wherein the AC bias is independent of the DC bias.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
