The invention concerns a wavelength tunable semiconductor laser comprising a laser gain section () optically coupled to an underlying optical waveguide (). According to an embodiment of the invention, a first and a second passive microring resonators () having a whistle geometry, are arranged on both sides of the laser gain section and evanescently coupled with the optical waveguide (). Highly reflective broadband mirrors () are provided at the free ends of optical waveguide branches () tangentially connected to the microring resonators.
