Abstract
The invention relates to a tunable laser, the tunable laser comprising a first waveguide, a second waveguide and a semiconductor layer being arranged to separate the first waveguide from the second waveguide. The first waveguide comprises a first coupling portion and an active portion for generating a laser signal. The second waveguide comprises a second coupling portion and a tuning portion for tuning the wavelength of the laser signal. The first coupling portion and the second coupling portion are configured to couple the laser signal between the first waveguide and the second waveguide through the semiconductor layer.
