Abstract
On-chip generation of coherent radiation, i.e. laser-like radiation, can be tuned over broad and/or hard-to-access wavelength regions in an integrated platform. Target spectral coverage is beyond what could be achieved with existing integrated laser systems.
Claims27
A device, comprising:
- a photonic integrated circuit comprising:
- an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) outputting at least one of a signal or an idler in response to a pump;
- and
- at least one of a source for the pump, an external injection locking input, or an auxiliary resonator coupled to the OPO.

A device, comprising:
- a photonic integrated circuit comprising:
- an optical parametric oscillator (OPO) comprising a main resonator coupled to a parametric gain region outputting a signal and an idler in response to a pump using a parametric nonlinear process;
- and
- at least one of a tuning circuit or a mode-locking circuit coupled to the OPO.
