Abstract

Low-cost and high-speed single-mode semiconductor lasers are increasingly required as wide-band access fiber communication expands in recent years. Here, a high-speed laterally coupled distributed feedback (LC-DFB) laser array is achieved based on a SiO2 planarization process. The device exhibits low threshold currents of about 12 mA and high slope efficiencies over 0.26 W/A. Stable single mode operation and high-speed performance are realized with side mode suppression ratios (SMSR) over 45 dB, and 3-dBe bandwidths exceed 14 GHz for all four channels. Such a high-speed and process simple LC-DFB laser array shows great potential to the low-cost fiber communication networks.
