Abstract
Wavelength beam combing of semiconductor lasers on a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) provides a simple, robust architecture to realize on-chip light sources for ultrabroadband wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and multi-species trace gas spectroscopy. Several conventional device structures can be used to realize on-chip wavelength beam combing, such as multimode interferometers (MMIs), arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs) and Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) devices. However, the bandwidth of these beam combiners is quite limited, usually less than 100 nm. Besides, the insertion loss of these combiners is relatively high. On-chip wavelength beam combiners with a low insertion loss and a bandwidth of a few hundred of nanometers should be further developed. Here we demonstrate low-loss wavelength beam combing of two lasers with a wavelength spacing more than 1000 nm based on an adiabatic silicon nitride coupler. The transmission loss from the cross input to the bar output is around -1.2dB in the 1990 nm to the 2060 nm wavelength range. The transmission loss from the bar input to the bar output is -0.86dB in the 830 nm to the 870 nm wavelength range.
