Abstract :
Dynamic tuning characteristics of micromachined surface-emitting lasers with broadband wavelength coverage (>55nm) around 1.55 mum and up to 1.8mW singlemode power are presented. Electro-thermal actuation enables full scale wavelength switching in milliseconds with durable long-term operation.
