Narrow Linewidth and Mode-Locked Lasers

At a Glance

Application-specific high-performance lasers based on HHI’s SiN-based hybrid photonic integration

SiN Hybrid Integration for Lasers

Fraunhofer HHI’s SiN wafer line enables the hybrid integration of SiN microing-cavities with active materials such as InP, GaAs or GaN to realize high-performance lasers

  • External-cavity lasers with linewidths < 1 kHz
  • Mode-locked lasers with tailorable repetition rate down to 1 GHz
  • Concept extendable to wavelengths from NIR down to VIS

Features 

  • High-Q micro-ring resonators for narrow linewidth and wide-tunability
  • Low-loss waveguide spirals for tailorable repetition rate

Applications

  • Telecom / Datacom
  • Quantum technologies
  • Sensing and analytics
  • mmW / THz photonics
