Abstract
We present our first experimental results of a monolithically integrated continuously
tunable laser source for optical coherence tomography in the 1.6 to 1.8pm wavelength
region. The InP-based active-passive integrated ring laser system contains three 8mm
long InAs/InP(1 00) quantum-dot ampl~Iers and two electro-optically tunable filters.
Initial results show a tuning range of at least 20nm, 25dB side mode suppression and a
linewidth better than 0. 05nm. We present details on the calibration andperformance of
the tuningfilters in the laser.
