Abstract :
An integrated-CMOS-tunable-laser with 15-dBm output power is presented. Fabrication is realized in commercial CMOS foundry. Laser shows high power, low RIN, and ultra-narrow linewidth. Performance over fiber is comparable with best-in-class, market-leading ITLA, proving suitability for long haul coherent applications.
