Abstract:
An optical source may include an optical gain chip that provides an optical signal and that is optically coupled to an SOI chip. The optical gain chip may include a reflective layer. Moreover, the SOI chip may include: a first optical waveguide, a first ring resonator that selectively optically coupled to a second optical waveguide and that performs phase modulation and filtering of the optical signal, the second optical waveguide, an amplitude modulator, and an output port. Note that the reflective layer in the optical gain chip and the amplitude modulator may define an optical cavity. Furthermore, a resonance of the first ring resonator may be aligned with a lasing wavelength, and the resonance of the first ring resonator and a resonance of the amplitude modulator may be offset from each other. Additionally, modulation of the first ring resonator and the amplitude modulator may be in-phase with each other.
