Summary:An optoelectronic device includes a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA), which includes a gain medium to amplify laser radiation within a given gain band, a first reflector at a first end of the gain medium, and a waveguide coupled to convey the laser radiation into and out of a second end of the gain medium. An external laser cavity, disposed on an optical substrate, is optically coupled to the waveguide. The external laser cavity includes a second reflector, a comb filter, disposed between the second reflector and the RSOA and configured to pass a set of distinct wavelength sub-bands within the gain band, the set of distinct wavelength sub-bands defining a comb, and a bandpass filter between the second reflector and the RSOA in series with the comb filter, having a passband encompassing a subset of the wavelength sub-bands in the comb.
