Abstract

Simulations of two laser systems of which the output wavelength can be switched by optical pulses are presented. The first system is based on two laser cavities containing a phased array waveguide (PHASAR) grating and an optical amplifier, that are coupled with a third optical amplifier. The second system consists of a single laser that contains a PHASAR, amplifier and two or more saturable absorbers. The rate equation model shows that the systems can be switched using pulses with a specific amount of energy. Switching speeds, requirements on the control pulses and the relation with design parameters are discussed.
