A tunable laser includes a substrate comprising a silicon material and a gain medium coupled to the substrate. The gain medium includes a compound semiconductor material. The tunable laser also includes an optical modulator optically coupled to the gain medium, a phase modulator optically coupled to the optical modulator, and a waveguide disposed in the substrate and optically coupled to the gain medium. The tunable laser further includes a first wavelength selective element characterized by a first reflectance spectrum and disposed in the substrate, a second wavelength selective element characterized by a second reflectance spectrum and disposed in the substrate, an optical coupler disposed in the substrate and joining the first wavelength selective element, the second wavelength selective element, and the waveguide, and an output mirror.
