Abstract
Free-running lasers, tunable lasers, mode-locked lasers and distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) waveguide lasers have all been demonstrated in erbium-diffusion-doped LiNbO3.1,2 This paper reports on the first, to our knowledge, single-mode Er:LiNbO3 DBR waveguide laser monolithically integrated with a Mach-Zehnder-type intensity modulator. This transmitter prototype is an attractive device for high-speed analog transmission and sensor applications.
