摘　　要：Chip-scale,tunable narrow-linewidth hybrid integrated diode lasers based on quantum-dot RSOAs at 1.3μm are demonstrated through butt-coupling to a silicon nitride photonic integrated circuit.The hybrid laser linewidth is around 85 k Hz,and the tuning range is around 47 nm.Then,a fully integrated beam steerer is demonstrated by combining the tunable diode laser with a waveguide surface grating.Our system can provide beam steering of 4.1°in one direction by tuning the wavelength of the hybrid laser.Besides,a wavelength-tunable triple-band hybrid laser system working at^1,~1.3,and^1.55μm bands is demonstrated for wide-angle beam steering in a single chip.
