Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for providing a dual-facet distributed feedback (DFB) laser in a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) structure. An example system includes an MZM structure that includes a DFB laser, a first waveguide interferometer arm structure, and a second waveguide interferometer arm structure. The DFB laser is configured to generate an optical input signal where the DFB laser includes a first output facet and a second output facet. The first waveguide interferometer arm structure is coupled to the first output facet of the DFB laser, and the first output facet of the DFB laser emits the optical input signal to the first waveguide interferometer arm structure. The second waveguide interferometer arm structure is coupled to the second output facet of the DFB laser, and the second output facet of the DFB laser emits the optical input signal to the second waveguide interferometer arm structure.
