This chapter discusses progress made towards the chip-scale integration of ultra-low jitter mode-locked lasers using rare-earth gain media with CMOS compatible fabrication. Such lasers generate ultra-stable pulse trains and optical frequency combs that are instrumental for signal processing systems such as optically assisted analog-to-digital converters. We also review work made towards the co-integration of optical filters for the interleaving of pulses or the upconversion of the comb’s free spectral range, as a further step towards a complete system integration.

摘要

This chapter discusses progress made towards the chip-scale integration of ultra-low jitter mode-locked lasers using rare-earth gain media with CMOS compatible fabrication. Such lasers generate ultra-stable pulse trains and optical frequency combs that are instrumental for signal processing systems such as optically assisted analog-to-digital converters. We also review work made towards the co-integration of optical filters for the interleaving of pulses or the upconversion of the comb’s free spectral range, as a further step towards a complete system integration.
