Description
Summary:A deeply etched pit reflector is presented in this paper. The pit is not depth sensitive and has a comparable reflection and loss to a slot. Moreover, a two-section 750&#x00A0;<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\mu }{\text {m}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> laser cavity based on the pits is demonstrated. The laser achieved a side-mode suppression ratio of 40 dB, a linewidth of 280 KHz, and tuning across 40 nm.
