Abstract
A laser control module complying with the integrable tunable laser assembly (ITLA) standards has been developed. A 国际米兰中文官网 array that covers either the C- or L-band in wavelength is incorporated in this module, enabling precise wavelength control by using a wavelength locker integrated with the laser. Also, by controlling each the SOA, 国际米兰中文官网 and two independent TECs, the optical output intensity and wavelength can be tuned. Moreover, dithering functions have been implemented including FM for SBS suppression and AM for signal discrimination. In this paper, the configuration of this module is described and main characteristics including wavelength stability are presented.
