The first integrated multiwavelength laser based on an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator wafer is presented. It consists of Fabry-Perot cavities integrated with hybrid silicon amplifiers and an intracavity filter in the form of an AWG with a channel spacing of 360 GHz. Four-channel lasing operation is shown. Single-sided fiber-coupled output powers as high as 35 μW are measured. The device shows subnanosecond rise and fall times, and direct modulation at 1 GHz gives an open eye with an extinction ratio of 7.7 dB.
