Optical Fiber Communication Conference 2014 San Francisco, California United States 9–13 March 2014 ISBN: 978-1-55752-993-0 From the session: Novel Optical Schemes (W4E)This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the publisher via the DOI in this record.We report on DFB and DBR lasers formed from a wavelength insensitive multisegmented silicon nitride waveguide. Using a five-segment waveguide, we obtain lasing in erbium-doped DBR (-3.6 dBm) and DFB (-7.3 dBm) cavities. © OSA 2014
