Photonic integrated circuits are widely used in applications such as telecommunications and data-centre interconnects. However, in optical systems such as microwave synthesizers, optical gyroscopes and atomic clocks, photonic integrated circuits…
Frequency-modulated (FM) laser combs, which offer a quasi-continuous-wave output and a flat-topped optical spectrum, are emerging as a promising solution for wavelength-division multiplexing applications, precision metrology, and ultrafast…
Integrating quantum dot (QD) gain elements onto Si photonic platforms via direct epitaxial growth is the ultimate solution for realizing on-chip light sources. Tremendous improvements in device performance and reliability have been demonstrated…

FRIDAY, May 28th AT 10:00AM
We review advances in the timing stabilization of self mode-locked and passively mode-locked
frequency comb semiconductor lasers in the infrared spectral range. Prospects of pulse train timing and
amplitude stability control, intermode beat frequency or pulse repetition rate agility,…
