Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of integrated optics of optical communication, in particular to a silicon-based external cavity laser with adjustable wavelength and adjustable power. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the development of coherent optical communication technology, high-performance tunable lasers are indispensable. High-speed coherent communication systems require tunable lasers to have wide tuning range, high frequency stability, narrow linewidth, high power, low power consumption, small size, and low cost. At present, tunable laser technology solutions that can meet the requirements of coherent optical communication systems are divided into two categories: monolithic integrated type and external cavity type. Among them, the monolithic integrated type mainly includes SGDBR (Sampled grating distributed bragg reflector, sampling grating distributed Bragg reflector), array DFB (Distributed FeedBack, distributed feedback...
