Chilas harvests the best of both Si3N4 and the InP worlds, resulting in external cavity tunable lasers with ultra-narrow linewidth. The lasers can be tuned over the C-band covering a wavelength range larger than 100 nm and have a linewidth of < 5 KHz. Chilas lasers have a unique combination of characteristics including ultra-narrow linewidth, broad and continuous wavelength tuning, high output power and low noise.
