Abstract
Deeply-etched DBR gratings are versatile components for application in Photonic
Integrated Circuits. A fabrication technology was developed that allows integration of
deeply-etched DBR mirrors with other active and passive components on an InP chip.
As a demonstration of the many applications of the DBR mirrors a novel discretely
tunable laser based on filtered feedback is presented. The laser has a simple tuning
method and the potentially sub-ns switching speed makes the device promising for
packet-switching applications. Because of the simple control scheme, the device also
has potential for low-cost applications like metro- and access networks.
