Zusammenfassung:Widely tunable, narrow linewidth external cavity lasers on silicon substrates have many important applications, such as white-light interferometry, wavelength division multiplexing systems, coherent optical communication, and optical fiber sensor technology. Wide tuning range, high laser output power, single mode, stable spectral output, and high side-mode suppression ratio external cavity lasers have attracted much attention for their merits. In this paper, two main device-integrated structures for achieving widely tunable, narrow linewidth external cavity lasers on silicon substrates are reviewed and compared in detail, such as MRR-integrated structure and MRR-and-MZI-integrated structure of external cavity semiconductor lasers. Then, the chip-integrated structures are briefly introduced from the integration mode, such as monolithic integrated, heterogeneous integrated, and hybrid integrated. Results show that the silicon-substrate-integrated external cavity lasers are a potential way to realize a wide tuning range, high power, single mode, stable spectral output, and high side-mode suppression ratio laser output.
