Abstract
We report on the first demonstrated near-complete coverage of the S-, C-, and L-bands using six different ranges of wavelength-selectable microarray light sources (WSLs) based on a distributed-feedback (DFB) laser diode (LD) array. The six devices were fabricated on only two wafers. Each device has a tuning range of more than 15 nm, a sidemode suppression ratio of over 40 dB, and a fiber-coupled power greater than around 10 mW.Keywords
