Abstract:
A laser source including a germanium-based semiconductor layer, including a suspended membrane formed of a tensilely stressed central portion and including an optical amplification section, and a plurality of tensioning arms. It includes an integrated waveguide, which participates in forming an optical cavity and which is located level with the carrier layer and at distance from the suspended membrane, the waveguide including a coupling section located facing the optical application section, which is suitable for allowing evanescent-wave optical coupling to the latter, and at least one curved section, which extends the coupling section, and which is arranged so that the integrated waveguide is placed at distance, in orthogonal projection, from the tensioning arms.

Claim (Index 9):
The laser source according to  claim 1 , wherein the coupling section comprises at least one coupling zone that has a transverse dimension that varies along the longitudinal axis of the integrated waveguide, so that an effective index of the optical mode supported by the coupling section passes locally from a value higher than an effective index of the optical mode supported by the optical amplification section to a value lower than the effective index of the optical modes supported by the optical amplification section.
