Scaling quantum processors and optical atomic clocks fundamentally requires orders-of-magnitude reductions in the size, weight, power, and cost of optical control systems. Photonic integration of lasers is critical to fulfill these requirements. At the near-infrared wavelengths required for atomic clocks and quantum computing through manipulation of rubidium atoms, laser integration is hindered by difficulty in light coupling and poor heat dissipation. Here, we introduce a wafer-scalable method utilizing micro-transfer printing to integrate GaAs-based amplifiers in etched recesses, directly butt-coupled to silicon nitride waveguides. We demonstrate extended-cavity single-mode lasers using this integration approach. Our compact microgear laser achieves a narrow 3 kHz fundamental linewidth at an on-chip output power of >22 mW – a record for a single-mode heterogeneously integrated laser in the 780-800 nm band – with a wall-plug efficiency of 9.4%, showcasing the high-power and efficiency potential of this integration approach. Additionally, we demonstrate a widely tunable laser leveraging Vernier filters to achieve lasing with 9 nm coarse tuning, a quasi-continuous fine-tuning range exceeding 140 GHz, and a mode-hop-free tuning range of 45 GHz. Our scalable integrated laser toolkit shows great promise for replacing macroscopic external-cavity diode lasers in next-generation quantum technologies and optical atomic clocks.
