This invention describes algorithmic and computational approaches to optimize the design and performance of microresonator based ultra-low noise lasers including a reflector or filter comprised of multiple (&#x2267;3) microresonator rings with different ring radii coupled together through bus waveguides. The enhanced reflector/filter design optimization provides more control over the key parameters, including the suppression ratio of unwanted modes over both a wide wavelength range (supporting wide wavelength tunability) and over the narrow range around the laser wavelength (improving laser singlemode and noise performance), while also enabling the design of specific reflector/filter bandwidth and effective length (delay), supporting the design of an ultra-low noise laser with specific operating performance parameters.
