A tunable laser device is described. In one example, the tunable laser device includes an adaptive ring mirror, a gain waveguide, a loop mirror waveguide, and a booster amplifier waveguide. The gain waveguide and the boost amplifier waveguide can be formed in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) region of the tunable laser device, and the adaptive ring mirror and the loop mirror waveguide can be formed in a silicon photonics region of the tunable laser device. The adaptive ring mirror includes a phase shifter optically coupled between a number of MMI couplers. By inducing a phase shift using the phase shifter, the wavelength of the output of the tunable laser device can be altered or adjusted for use in coherent fiber-optic communications, for example, among other applications.
