Abstract: Integrated laser arrays, photonic devices, packages, and systems are disclosed. An example integrated laser array includes first and second lasers, each laser including a light-emitter structure and a waveguide with a grating. In one aspect, effective pitches of the gratings of the first and second lasers are different by less than about 5 angstroms, while the gratings of the first and second lasers are fabricated with a resolution of at least 1 nanometer. In another aspect, each laser includes a waveguide with left and right sidewall gratings, effective widths of the waveguides of the first and second lasers are different, and an offset between the left and right sidewall gratings of the second laser is different from an offset between the left and right sidewall gratings of the first laser. Integrated laser arrays described herein may be particularly suitable for being implemented in dense wavelength division multiplexed systems.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a silicon photonics integrated apparatus that includes an input to receive an optical signal, a splitter optically coupled to the input to split the optical signal at a first path and a second path, a polarization beam splitter and rotator (PBSR) optically coupled with the first path or the second path, and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) optically coupled with the first path or the second path and disposed between the splitter and the PBSR. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
