Research abstract
Aiming at present as well as upcoming markets for coherent light sources with electrically controllable wavelength, CoreTek Inc. proposes a novel integrated-optic approach for widely tunable laser arrays. By integrating well established electrooptic materials and solid-state laser technologies, our proposed approach offers laser emission with finer than 1A linewidth and wide tunability range (170 nm). Furthermore, CoreTek's innovative methods allow fabrication of arrays of individually tunable lasers. In Phase I, our team of experts in this field will investigate the feasibility of two novel laser tuning devices. In Phase II, CoreTek will further develop this technology to build and commercialize tunable InGaAsP (1550 nm) semiconductor laser packages.
