Tunable laser emitting device

摘要

A wavelength tunable laser emission device (1) comprises: a first waveguide (31) comprising an optical amplification means for producing a stimulated light emission, the first waveguide extending in a longitudinal direction of the emission device, a second waveguide (5) made of silicon on silicon dioxide and disposed parallel to the first waveguide spaced from the first waveguide in a vertical direction of the emission device so as to allow the existence of a hybrid optical mode coupled at one and the same time to the second waveguide and to the first waveguide, the second waveguide comprising a distributed reflector (9) along the second waveguide, the second waveguide comprising transverse zones (11, 12, 13, 14) doped differently so as to form a polar junction oriented in a transverse direction of the emission device. Electrodes (15, 16) coupled to the doped transverse zones modify an effective index seen by the hybrid optical mode.
