Abstract
A LIDAR system comprising a laser configured to output a beam, a modulator configured to receive the beam and modulate the beam to generate a modulated beam, a photonic integrated circuit having an amplifier coupled to receive the modulated beam from the modulator and generate an amplified beam, the amplifier having an active layer and an alternating or periodic or a super lattice structure configured to dissipate heat; and a transceiver chip coupled to the photonic integrated circuit, the transceiver chip configured to emit the amplified beam and receive a reflected beam from a target.
