N2 - Compact, wavelength-tunable light sources are desired for the enhancement of information communication technology and bio-imaging applications. We propose a compact, wavelength-tunable laser diode with a wide wavelength-tunable range around 1230nm consisting of a quantum-dot optical amplifier and a silicon photonic tunable filter. High-quality InAs quantum dots grown with the sandwiched sub-nano separator technique were used as the optical gain medium. The wavelength-tunable filter was constructed with ring resonators fabricated using silicon photonics. The single-mode laser oscillation was demonstrated with a 28.5-nm wavelength-tunable range.
