Abstract

We report a monolithic optical frequency comb generator using quaternary/quaternary multiple quantum well InV/InGaAsP material as phase modulator and gain medium in a Frequency Modulated (FM) laser design. The modulation was generated by quantum confined Stark effect to achieve a comb-line spacing of 24.4 GHz. The laser was fabricated using a single epitaxial growth step and quantum well intermixing to realize low loss phase and modulation sections. The resulting comb generator produces lines with a spacing exactly given by the modulation frequency, differential phase noise between adjacent lines of -82 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset and a comb spectrum width of up to 2 THz.
