Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including a laser including a layer having first and second regions, the first region including a void; a mirror section provided on the layer, the mirror section including a waveguide core, at least part of the waveguide core is provided over at least a portion of the void; a first grating provided on the waveguide core; a first cladding layer provided between the layer and the waveguide core and supported by the second region of the layer; a second cladding layer provided on the waveguide core; and a heat source configured to change a temperature of at least one of the waveguide core and the grating, where an optical mode propagating in the waveguide core of the mirror section does not incur substantial loss due to interaction with portions of the mirror section above and below the waveguide core.

Claim (Index 1):
A laser comprising:\n a layer having first and second regions, the first region including a void; a mirror section provided on the layer, the mirror section comprising:\n a waveguide core, at least part of the waveguide core is provided over at least a portion of the void; \n a grating; \n a first cladding provided between the layer and the waveguide core, at least a portion of the first cladding being supported by the second region of the layer; \n a second cladding provided on the waveguide core; and \n a heat source configured to change a temperature of at least one of the waveguide core or the grating, \n wherein an optical mode propagating in the waveguide core of the mirror section does not incur substantial loss due to interaction with portions of the mirror section above and below the waveguide core.
