Exemplary embodiments provide wavelength selective and tunable laser devices and a method for tuning the laser devices. An exemplary laser device, which can be operated in a single-wavelength lasing mode at a selectable and tunable lasing wavelength, includes a multi-mode laser, a feedback portion, and a wavelength tuning structure. The laser generates an optical emission having a spectrum that peaks at a plurality of discrete wavelengths. The feedback portion includes an optical etalon arranged to provide wavelength selective feedback to the laser to generate a beam of laser light at a lasing wavelength selected from the plurality of discrete wavelengths. The wavelength tuning structure provides tuning of the lasing wavelength by locally adjusting a refractive index of the channel waveguide to adjust the spectrum of the optical emission, where the wavelength tuning structure adjusts the spectrum of the optical emission to overlap a transmission spectrum of the etalon at the lasing wavelength. |
