Claim Text:
1. A method of configuring a semiconductor chip, the method comprising: providing an optical gain chip attached to a semiconductor substrate; and providing an integrated photonic circuit on the semiconductor substrate, the optical gain chip optically coupled to the integrated photonic circuit thereby forming a laser cavity, wherein the integrated photonic circuit comprises: an active intra-cavity thermo-optic optical phase tuner element; an intra-cavity optical band-pass filter; and an output coupler band-reflect optical grating filter with passive phase compensation; wherein the active intra-cavity thermo-optic optical phase tuner element, the intra-cavity optical band-pass filter, and output coupler band-reflect optical grating filter with passive phase compensation are optically coupled together.
