摘要：

We demonstrate a new widely tunable semiconductor laser structure, the three-branch Y3-laser. Using a multiple-quantum-well active region, the lasers show a tuning range of 45 nm (5.6 THz) and a sidemode suppression of 25 dB, with potential access to 120 frequency channels. The laser spectral characteristics agree well with the design. Such lasers appear promising for multichannel wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) optical networks.
