Wavelength-Selectable Laser Emission from a Multistripe Array Grating Integrated Cavity Laser

We report laser operation of a multistripe array grating integrated cavity (MAGIC) laser in which the wavelength of the emission from a single output stripe is chosen by selectively injection pumping a second stripe. We demonstrate a device that lases in the 1.5 μm fiber band at 15 wavelengths, evenly spaced by ∼2 nm. The single‐output/wavelength‐selectable operation, together with the accurate predefinition of the lasing wavelengths, makes the MAGIC laser a very attractive candidate for use in multiwavelength networks.
