A compact external cavity tunable laser based on a silicon hybrid micro-ring resonator is demonstrated. A theoretical model is also employed for design and analysis of the wavelength tuning performance of the device. In this model, the gain section of the device is simulated by a conventional multimode rate equation model, whereas all rest passive sections are modeled by the frequency domain method.

We discuss the simulation of this tunable laser using a two-step hybrid analysis method to obtain an optimal design of the device. A wide wavelength tuning range about 40 nm in C-band with a narrow linewidth of less than 50 kHz and wavelength accuracy of ± 1 GHz over the entire tuning range can be achieved experimentally.
