Integrated dual-wavelength AWG-lasers for millimeter wave generation

We have designed integrated dual-wavelength lasers in which an array waveguide grating is used as intra-cavity filter to allow lasing on two wavelengths within a common arm of the device. The devices have been designed with the purpose to exploit the beating of the two wavelengths on a photodiode in order to generate a 70GHz carrier wave. Both linear and ring laser configurations have been designed
