1. A reconfigurable laser transmitter comprising:

  • an integration platform having a silicon substrate;

    a gain element, having an optical output, the gain element having a body of material different than said integration platform, being disposed on said integration platform;

    a first optical path receiving optical output from said gain element, said first optical path comprising a silica waveguide within said integration platform;

    a tunable microresonator optically coupled with said first optical path, said tunable microresonator having a body of material different than said silica waveguide and being disposed on said integration platform;

    a second optical path coupled with said tunable microresonator, said second optical path comprising a silica waveguide within said integration platform; and

    a fixed grating in said integration platform and coupled with said second optical path.
